I love silver needle tea ❤ im lucky that the Chinese store i live by sells it for a good price just have to ask in Mandarin and they bring you to the back 😂
@@mndlessdrwersame, and even if I did I’ve wasted the last 4 years learning Latin of all languages. Fuck am I gonna do with Latin? Go back in time and ask Caesar where the bathroom is?
@@SkullpunkArt I took four semesters worth of Latin in college. While it's interesting and a little bit useful when it comes to understanding verb conjugation of modern romance languages, it's essentially useless unless you're in the sciences and need to name new species or you're an archaeologist or historian who needs to be able to translate from Latin. But even then, most Latin that you'll learn in school is vulgate Latin and won't be quite as beneficial for many historical texts. The amount of Latin I remember is basically zero because I had nowhere to use it and only took it because I needed foreign language credits.
When I was 16 and addicted to tea I had a bag of silver needles, so delicious. Lot of kids in my town were addicted to drugs. Might have been cheaper than my tea habit at one point 😂
You can get some from him! I've checked his website, took a survey, then looked around the internet. His prices are actually really fair! Equipment I found on Amz was either equal or worse quality/$ ratio. And similar tea quality is hard to judge, but it's either equal or more expensive other places. Plus you can trust it bc he uses it himself! Like I legit think this guy only makes money because he gets special deals and passes the savings down to us. Most people on YT sell poor quality for extra $$ (I call it the Influencer tax) but that's not the case here. Dude seems honest, and my mouth is watering so I'm gonna order some oolong 🤤
I love bai hao yin zhen. I have this curious tea from Yunnan of all places that on the outside resembles silver needle with the hairs but the leaf inside the curl is dark like a red tea, I got it from a tea expo here. It's called Moonlight White because allegedly the leaves are harvested at night which changes the concentrations of the flavinoids
I too love silver needle. Right now it is, as you said, very expensive. Will be looking for what you have in stock when I run out. Just checked your site and it looks like you have some interesting alternatives
Found you maybe like, this week or the last? Fascinating vids, you've shown me an aspect of a culture I've always known about. Since I was a kid I knew tea came from China, but there's real detail here I never knew before that is so interesting to me. But I've been wanting to ask something: what's the general perception in China of using Sugar/honey in tea?
I've had this tea a few times. While very pleasant, I've found that I prefer the stronger floral and fruity aromas of certain oolong teas. Still, if you ever find a place selling a good quality silver needle for a reasonable price, it's always worth it to pick some up. If it's a Yunnan silver needle then you might find that it has some interesting malt flavor to the tea.
How does the tea you sell play with the longer steeps common in the british style of tea making? My mum enjoys her green tea but by virtue of when she drinks it and how busy she is she wouldnt be able to dedicate the time in her day very easily to do this style of tea making but i think she would enjoy a nicer quality of green tea as a gift
Fortunately I've been able to buy some. True the taste is amazing and yes expensive. I had 500g but it didn't last very long lol everyday sooo good. Admittedly I cried a little on the last cup. Great videos bye the way 👍
I was originally so excited to try silver needle white tea - I thought it would taste like other white teas like bai mu tan or something. Turns out it just tastes like light black tea
Any recommendations on a high quality silver needle for personal use that is able to be acquired state side without a month waiting period for it to clear customs.
Genuinely curious: I saw that most of the haos were present in the first steep, wouldnt that be a waste to pour it out onto the tea pets? I saw you not pouring out your first wash with a couple green teas as well, Just curious to know what the difference is, and how would one determine whether to pour out the first wash or not in lighter varieties of tea
We’re getting more but they were stuck in customs for a month before they could leave china, really bad timing 😢 but they will be back and better than ever
May i ask why you pour onto the tea pet thingies? I can see it from a utilitarian point of view, the first wash wont be nearly as potent as the next. I just find it neat that they have cute little animal figures specifically to pour onto. It does make me wonder how that came to be from a cultural standpoint.

Speaking the language at an international store will get you many places. I wish I had a brain for languages, but I really don't.

I used to have a jasmine silver needle that was amazing. I was so upset when the store I got it from closed. 😢

@@DLlama you sound like an advert
I don't drink much tea, but your videos are relaxing to watch. I love the ritual of preparing and serving
I've been a coffee guy my whole life but I recently discovered how good tea can be. Your channel is helping me through my new tea journey!
I love these videos, they’re so calming to me 🫶
Thanks so much for sharing your tea with us.

Yeah, it is an awesome tea. Low in caffeine though, but absolutely delicious
Nice tea! 😉 Cheers! 🇪🇭

I have some great white teas
@@jessesteahouse yes you do and when you have the tea balls back in stock I will place a quick order! Really love my tea tray.
Oh I have some of that tea at home. Totally different experience to other kinds of tea. Very interesting taste.
I remember the first time I had this tea and it had a lot of the white hairs on it, it was so creamy and I felt like it gave me a mood boost!
Thanks for explaining how to set up the tube & pump, I was racking my brain!
had this once at my friend's grandmother's house, it was probably one of the reasons I started getting into good tea.
Looks kinda like some dank bud but just the lil scraggly leaves 😂 its so light would love to try one day !
Thats BEAUTIFUL....omg......
Vietnam produces a similar tea called Snowshan. Very good, quite expensive, and difficult to find.
I got one from China recently and yeah it's fantastic. I mixed it with green tea and honey the other day it was perfect
when you said white tea, i didnt expect it to be ENTIRELY CLEAR
Definitely one of my favorite I had a bunch of gifted to me in China when I was living there.
Show us all your tea pets
I bought some of it years ago and it was very expensive 💔 but I loved the taste
Probably the main tea and the dragon balls if I bought anyb

I did some videos on that in the past - maybe I should re-do one or repost :)
@@jessesteahouse I guess I should binge your catalogue even further haha
i love how spicy the all bud teas get
I love silver needle 🫖 ❤ But I might have to try out the gongmei white tea.
Very very clear first steep if you let it go cold I bet i wouldn't know until the second it hit my tongue that it was tea 👌
love me some silver needle. its like water thats more crisp and watery lol.
Love the bilingal pun😂

I have never seen clear tea in my life
This is my formal request for more tea puns. Haó does that sound??
Tea pun cash register goes chá-ching
I haven't laughed this much in oolong time.
are those also considered "trichromes" or the little white hairs on the buds? fascinating tea
My mans got that gas 🔥
im curious, you've stated your dislike of dusty teas in the past, what's your opinion on intentionally ground powder teas like matcha?
豪好 is that 😂
毫好👌
Im in Shanghai right now and would love to have some tea experience like that, do you have any recommendations?
Fortunately I've been able to buy some. True the taste is amazing and yes expensive. I had 500g but it didn't last very long lol everyday sooo good. Admittedly I cried a little on the last cup. Great videos bye the way 👍

the tea got some kief 🎉🎉
Where can I get a snake tea pet like yours?
On his site! Such a cute little snake guy 😊
Any recommendations on a high quality silver needle for personal use that is able to be acquired state side without a month waiting period for it to clear customs.
How do we feel about herbal teas? Like hibiscus.
What’s the little tray that the tea pets are on? Is there any significance to it?
What are tea pets used for?
I wonder if there is overlap between tea culture and weed culture 🤔
Yum
Is there quality tea in the states readily available? I'm in the bastard step child of the Midwest lol.
Genuinely curious: I saw that most of the haos were present in the first steep, wouldnt that be a waste to pour it out onto the tea pets?
I saw you not pouring out your first wash with a couple green teas as well,
Just curious to know what the difference is, and how would one determine whether to pour out the first wash or not in lighter varieties of tea
Man everything sampler wise is pretty much sold out, hoping to catch the next wave!
We’re getting more but they were stuck in customs for a month before they could leave china, really bad timing 😢 but they will be back and better than ever
Can you recommend a buyer to order this tea from? Or can anyone recommend a good way to find good, quality tea?
Have you ever tried that lipton
May i ask why you pour onto the tea pet thingies?
I can see it from a utilitarian point of view, the first wash wont be nearly as potent as the next.
I just find it neat that they have cute little animal figures specifically to pour onto. It does make me wonder how that came to be from a cultural standpoint.
I have a tea store that sells silver needle jasmine tea for 20€ á 500g
Damn that’s cheap - I would question if it’s real at that price
Do u lose the needles in the first steep?
What would be your reaction if I put sugar in that cup
Would be a waste of sugar and good white tea 😂
lol tea keif
Same with weed lol
How r u heating water above 100 degrees farenheight?
What do you mean?
Why the fuck would you show me something if I couldn’t have it then?
Looks like crap ichy throat tea 😂😂😂
why spill tea to pet
I feel like all of your tea sessions are missing a fatty boomblatie Blunt..
