Been watching so many of Lazlos videos, such a good channel

[@GGE415]

I remember playing this video game called dynasty Warriors. And you actually got to pick which region of China you’re from before the three dynasties United. And there was other side dynasties. It was an amazing game.

[@xavierlarrazabal4575]

Can’t wait to watch this and drink tea after work

[@Kedai610]

Really weird to see Lazlo’s face, been listening to his podcast for years now!

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]

And such a strange looking face too

[@mickaelliparimayer]

Flabergasted, I loved his podcast!! Awesome feat Jeese!

[@fireislow7270]

its the man! in the flesh!

[@MoriendumEst.]

Great conversations, awsome duo. Jessie is a great host, both in podcast and tea.

[@MystRunner916]

yay Lazlo! Love the china history podcast. haven't listened to it for a while but it was fun to listen to while doing early morning stocking at work.....ironically putting up cheap Chinese crap on the shelves.

[@GGE415]

36:36 I think I like this channel and gravitate towards it because a few reasons
1 I was looking for some other beverage to consume that’s healthy. And this seems very ritualistic.
2 one of my first jobs and one to probably the first job where I actually felt at home the gentleman that owned it and he took under his wing
3 subtitle of Chinese in English is a very attractive factor

[@MetaversoEnEspanol]

​​How do you see the state of Chinese Tea Culture in the US right now?

[@Daboingus]

i just realized this. i would love to see Ranton on a teatime.

[@dapper_gent]

I had an arizona iced one just now.

[@JohnKay79]

Chicago boy, wearing a Stealers hat? What's up with that! Da Bears! lol

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]

Bears fan since 1966. Also a Steelers fan. And as I told Franco Harris when I met him, I’ve never been to Pittsburgh.

[@TwilightPsalmist]

Have a question for ya... I'm working on my Gan Pao Tea routine. I notice most artists leave their hands on the tea table between actions, would it be bad manners for my hands to return to my lap? If not, looks like I have a bad habit to break... Love these tea time video, instructive and interesting. Thank you. :)

[@sashas3332]

Yayyyyyyyy

[@RuStOlIuM420]

You may wanna double-check the quality of your tea ware. Had a piece broke just by falling off of a cheap bamboo tray. It was like a half-inch drop to the counter, and it's broken

[@jessesteahouse]

Sorry for the issue! What product was it? We may be able to get you a replacement, email teafriendsupport@jessesteahouse. Tea stuff is fragile but half an inch to break is not right
