Jesse’s Tea Journey - Ep. 1
The Quest for Lorp
Hey tea friends! I am back in Beijing after three plus years away since the borders shut down. I’m going to be vlogging my tea experiences here in China for you all, including (hopefully) going to the tea mountains in Yunnan!
This first episode is a chance to see a bit of what my old tea collection was like and see a bit of Beijing. I am very happy to report that the search for my old pets, including Lorp, was a success.
Please let me know what you think of these video blogs and what sort of stuff you would like to see!
Thanks for watching!
Your tea guy,
-Jesse

I came for Lorp and got my mind blown by a huge 30yo cake. ❤
Were you just completely swept off your feet by the Xi of that 30yo cake? That’s how I fell in love with puerh and discovered your channel. I was sitting in silence for 12 weeks in a Zen monastery and sampled some really special sheng puerh donated to the temple by a wealthy patron. I think I was blessed out for about two weeks😂
I’ve never been able to reproduce that experience, but I’ve had a hell of a lot of good tea trying!💙
A lot of teas r over 30. I got some teas of my parents’ age. That’s how uk it’s good tea. 👍
Love the long form! So excited to travel along vicariously in real time! This type of content is probably more labor intensive than the reels, so thank you for going that extra mile for your tea friends!
Much more labor intensive and almost nobody sees it 😂 but I think it’s a great way to share the journey so I am hoping people enjoy!
The walking part i've thought about so many times.......
I lived in the outskirts of Shanghai for just one year for work, and got back to the US for grad school just months before the pandemic shut everything down and didnt let me go back.
My wife and I talk about missing our favorite breakfast stand and our stirfry/hotpot place all the time
The food is so good here! And as much as I love beijing, Shanghai food is really really good too 🎉
@@jessesteahousewow so many tea pets lorp and a pu' er cake tea? Hi
There's some kind of natural elegance in using the nice fancy set and letting the leaves spill, or the tea flow over in some moments.
🥰 She packed everything so well! Sorry that happened but I hope you had fun getting everything situated.
I love the long form tea content! I hope you will take us on a tour of the Beijing tea market in upcoming videos, or maybe have Yunqing show some of the most interesting and unique teas from his shop
I am learning so much from you....not just about tea, but so many other stuff...life in China.
Thanks so much for sharing...👍👏💝🪷...take care..
Lorp and Dominic slurping up that first steep like they just spent 40 years in the desert 😂
That's so awesome that you were able to get your stuff back, especially the tea pets and tea. I really appreciate how "steeped" (pun intended) you are in the Chinese tea culture by having lived there. I love that authenticity.
Very excited for the series and seeing the tea markets. Happy you found your pets and that white tea looked heavenly!
A good cup of tea makes the world go 'round! mate i think you should raise the EU prices on your shop, everything seems quite cheap. it might be scaring off customers. remember people like to pay more. youve put yourself in a nieche world - which i admire. But you have two ways you can go, really cheap to try to create a market like wallmart cheap.. or expensive to create interest, remember there is no shortage of money in this world. and fine tea should be acknowledged like fine watches. wish you the best man! also this video was really cool! awesome to see your hidden away old collection and to hear about your adventures!
Lorp looks so happy to be having tea again 😊
🎉 looks like fun!
I can't wait to see Episode 2. I have your subscription tea.
Thanks so much for subscribing! Going to the tea market today I expect that will be episode 2 🎉
I enjoy knowing what is being said during your interactions in Chinese.
lorp is truly magnificent
I don't drink tea, and even I was happy to see Lorp 🐌 in one piece , great video
Loved the longer form vlod! There's honestly very little youtube content that I personally enjoy, but this is absolutely one of them. It's really nice to see what you share of finding your tea stuff again and is just so human, especially going back to a place after years (plural!) of not being able to get back and see what remains. Not to mention-this is really well edited and cut!! I'm really looking forward to more of this series!
Fantastic journey!:)
Awesome video, please do more! 😁
That Uyghur tea brick looks interesting!
never enjoyed watching vlogs, but this one is amazing, looking forward to seeing the next episodes
Oh thank you!!! I always worry people are not interested in the Vlog content but I figured why not give it a try
So excited for this series!
Great episode.
thoroughly enjoyed this!
I enjoyed first episode , thank you
I'm addicted to your channel now. I used to be an avid coffee drinker, and I can no longer have any caffeine. I have been looking at possibly making my own herbal teas that don't have any allergens in them. ( I've a digestive autoimmune, im gonna live,but i can only have very certain foods and drinks...so...i might just make my own). The turtle 🐢 tea pet is so cute !! ( Almost as cute as you!)
thanks for the support! We are planning on launching our first flower/herbal tea in January if all goes well - keep an eye out since it will have no caffeine :)
LOOOOORP LIVES
my partner showed me your channel the other day as i have been getting into tea lately and im absolutely overjoyed and feel so welcome ❤
Welcome!!! I really hope I can help connect the tea scenes, the scene outside of china is really disconnected and I hope it will make everyone’s tea journey better ❤
Love the longer videos!!
Jesse I love the long form footage, I’m looking into starting my own small tea operation/farm in Tennessee your videos are the inspiration
the long form content is something I've been wanting more of for a long time! I think these vlogs will do great ❤
Great video 🍵 🫖
That is so funny. The same thing happened with me, thinking I would be staying home for 3 weeks then bam. And all my possessions were (and still are) in mexico!
Subscribed and bought myself a tea set ! Very exited to come along this journey on CZcams with you !😊
Wow thanks so much for the support!! Super excited to hear how you like it!
Wow, I love this. I only recently discovered your channel and am impressed with your expertise when it comes to tea, your proficiency in Mandarin, and interesting life journey (from what little I've seen so far). The interaction at the shaobing place was charming.
You're making me really want trying some of this traditional Chinese tea because it looks delicious and something about it is mesmerizing I don't really know how you started appearing on my I've gotten sucked into nearly all your videos I've seen pop up
Like #69 #nice
Loved this video. Great format with the tea ASMR at the end. Would love to hear more Chinese comedy. No idea what that is like.
lets go tea time!
Awesome! Subscribed!
Thank you!!
Excited to see your journey progress! Do the vlogs for YOU and I'm sure they will be great! Don't stress yourself to much and enjoy your time back!
Qiu Ling for the win!
Love all the tea content, enjoy seeing also more details about where you lived and the courtyard. As that is so foreign and exotic to me living in Sweden!
Loved the longer video! It was great to see a glimpse into your life in China and I can see why you fell in love with it and their tea!
Awesome job! I’m just blown away at how good your video skills are, not to mention how great of a website you have as well! Well done!
Music of Mengsong is so freaking good. I’m so happy to have gotten one. I need another to just forget about and let age
LORP!!!!!!
I really just found you an subscribed.. I am ordering a tea set as my bday is Jan 10th. So grateful fate put your content in my path!! Cheers luv✌🏼💗😘🫂😘
Really happy to see that you were able to find most of your tea and tea pets!
This reminds me..Back in 2016 I bought about 900g of random sheng and shou puerh cakes. Most of it was in original packaging from the factories but there were no whole cakes in the lot. I believe I shunted it all in a black sport bag, put everything in Ziploc bags. Do you think that tea would still be drinkable? Most of it was I believe from 2013 or earlier. At the time I was in college and had no idea what I'd just spent $80 on.. now I wonder.
Love the vlog Jesse! Lorp is a unit! Got my dragon tea box and that purple beauty is amazing!
Glad you're back! Hope you can sort out enough of what you need to/can!
This was great, CZcams randomly recommended me your shorts and I've been loving them, can't wait for your next episode
The Journey of a American Tea dealer...love your shorts
i loved the longer video! can’t wait to see what else you’re up to. i want to see shep so bad 🥺 i’m in love with him
I love your vlogs! It's very fun to follow you along in this trip
Love the longer format and really enjoyed seeing your old breakfast place
.....can i ask where you get your tea pets??🎉🎉 So glad you were reunited with your tea and tea pets
Awesome collection, man. Hope you’re able to get everything back.
Loved the video. Looking forward to seeing more long form content!
I'm so happy for you! It's not quite the same, but I had to move across the US and leave many of my possessions in storage due to covid. I'm so glad you're using a longer format for this trip! I think it will catch on if you keep up with it. 😊
Yay so excited for this series!
Absolutely happy for your reunion!🎉
Jesse I lived in the Philippines for 6 months I got the last flight back to America and seeing this culture here took me back to the Philippines with the motorbikes and everything thank you!
I’ve been to manila a few times and yes the motorbikes are everywhere! Though beijing doesn’t have those beautiful artistic mini-bus cars the the Philippines has
What a stunning location for tea you have with that courtyard. Next time Dad complains about all my tea stuff I'm showing him this video lol. This was super interesting and I really liked what you said about the time being now because there might not be a later. I have a mushroom-shaped tuo cha that I haven't opened because the shop I got it from is no longer open. It was a free sample of that tea which introduced me to puer tea and I've been scared to drink it and try to break up such a compressed cake of tea.
Loved this so much, amazing vibes
Great video, Jesse. You have really inspired me to always keep moving, no matter what happens in life or how long something might seem to take, always keep moving forward. I'm looking forward to ordering a set of starting tea equipment and getting into the hobby. It's kind of overwhelming with how many options there are. :) #TeamLorp
Let me know if you need any help! I have a bunch of teamaking equipment on the site I can help you find the right one for the budget jessesteahouse.com/collections/jesses-tea-equipment
Hopefully I can go one day
Yesssirrr‼️‼️‼️
2:59 wow so they use the “&” symbol too?! Thats cool
Long vids are great. Please more 😊 also the tea looks delicious. A question: do you drink tea in the evenings and is this healthy with coffein and all? I drink a few cups of green or oolong in the evenings because I like it and it's relaxing. but everyone keeps saying I shouldn't drink tea in the evenings.
Yeah everyone’s body is different but I don’t usually drink tea after 5pm. If I do it’s only cooked Pu’er, that isn’t so intense especially if it’s aged
I legit got a little emotional when Lorp got his first tea in three years.
Lorp got his 3 year long thirst quenched
LOPPY SLOPPY
I love the videos, but hear the store is a drop shipping operation. I'd really like to hear more if you can elaborate or explain, I'm curious and would like to hear from you
So did you move back or are coming back to the states after awhile?
I’m coming back after two months in china and then will make some sort of decision for long termn
Wait...so was he forces to actually live back in America or where he's from? He can't just move back in?
Who gave u that expensive cake??!! Wow
Duidui! My friend who also provided the 2010 cooked pu'er on my site jessesteahouse.com/products/duiduis-2010-reserve-aged-cooked-puer
Please make more videos
poor Lorp :'( just LEFT there in a BOX.
6:26 Love the sentiment.
I’m more interested in the godly one named Dominic
Bro please do a videos for beginners. Something for people who know nothing about Asian tea. Like dude i have no idea what a tea cake is, it’s history, why, and the reason for it? Aged? I’m American but been drinking tea my whole life. My grand father was from Wales so im very familiar with European tea culture but know nothing at all about Asian tea.
do you worry about pesticides in your tea?
Why not pack up what you can to be mailed to yourself?
”零钱甭找了。“
Why not just ship the box back to yourself?
I mean you saw all the stuff in there who knows what’s in what box - also I might move back and if I do that I’d have to ship it back
@Jesse's Teahouse If you do move back, will the Teahouse still exist over here? Also, gave you thought about incorporating teaching some basic Chinese phrases that you use often when drinking tea-or in general lol. I've been enjoying relearning Chinese from your videos.
Great video, looking forward to seeing more.
@@queenmidna4998yes I will definitely keep the teahouse open :) we have a shipping team going strong so even tho I am here we can still fill orders and everything
Needs more pulse pounding, agressive music.
Disgusting how coof destoried so many lifes..
Love this content. Can't wait for more. I know you are busy, but I hope to see some new live tea making sessions. I usually make tea along with you and it is nice to have someone to make tea with that enjoys it as much as I do
