These are treasures we would never have seen. Thank you for the tour. Here we have discovered Chonky Horse's polar opposite, Lanky Horse. It's exquisite!
Thank you for bringing us along. It’s art, really. Tea artifacts. The Tang Dynasty lanky horse statuary is probably a whole genre in itself - love that they make tea pets in that style!
I’m a sucker for archaic Chinese scripts (from Oracle script to Qin dynasty seal script). Love their strange, slightly alien beauty, different from the classical forms we are more familiar with. I’ve also found Shang dynasty and other early metalwork to be absolutely beautiful. In general antique Chinese metalwork is underrated. They are gorgeous.
The pot is unglazed and porous, by pouring more water you can draw some tea into the pot itself. Do that a thousand times and you develop a depth of flavour
so thar derpy dragon was actually a qilin. also if you source your porcelain from dehua is any of it the jade porcelain that doesn't even need glaze? I love that stuff.
I don't much drink fancy tea myself but love the parts where Jesse is struck up for random conversation with curious bystanders because I can actually relate
That knife handle in the beginning is called a kozuka, in Japanese. A small blade called a kogatana is fitted into it, and the resulting knife fits into a recess near the mouth of the scabbard of a katana; it was often paired with a tool called a kogai, which had a hair dressing pick on one end and an ear scoop on the other. 👍👍 Thanks so much for sharing this footage with us, Jesse, and I hope you didn't mind the above ramble.
Btw at 3:02 that is not a dragon at all, but a Qilin麒麟 (sometimes called a chinese unicorn). It is one of the four auspicious beasts 四瑞兽/四灵 in Chinese mythology. The others being the phoenix 凤，turtle 龟 and dragon 龙
I think a video of you going to the Charleston/Mississippi tea gardens would be very interesting. It would be cool to see how americans process/grow the tea. I know it's western style but you could compare the differences and do like an AB taste test
If you're high level tea person, you want to have control over heat, speed of heat loss and time at every step. These teapots retain heat very well but not completely, you also loose some heat by pouring itself, so by pouring water over the pot you help it retain the heat that is in there much better. It's more like 'why not' than a must.
I saw your short on Facebook and knew i had to find a full video, didnt know you had a youtube, but should have assumed. Is there a specific reason for the thin porcelain cups? Since tea is hot I find that counter-intuitive
Honestly, when I was very young, that’s exactly why I wanted to study Mandarin, it seemed like such a great way to speak to so many people I would never otherwise be able to know
@@jessesteahouse Hell yeah. It'll also make it easier to talk to my local Asian grocery store owner. She's so sweet but I often have to Google words in Mandarin to ask for what I need 😅
there is a lot of tea pots there, is there a difernt way of making tea in china useing a tea pot im only going off your shorts so i don't know if you've already showed something like that before

Derpy dragon would be a great name for a really strong tea. 🐉

That's a tea pet?!? 🤯 I figured it was just some nice statuary for one's room 😅
@@kagitsune Haha I don’t know that for a fact, I assumed that’s what it was. Could be wrong!
Incredible pieces of art in that room loved the tiny teapots. The music wasn't off-putting but was a interesting touch to the atmosphere
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.

I think I'd cry happy tears if I went there, my goodness such history, beautiful. Look at it all!
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed that Video, thank you for Sharing with us!
So many lovely teawares~
That big horse was amazing.
With the little yixing teapots, why is water poured on top of them as well?
To distribute more heat, I'm guessing.
The pot is unglazed and porous, by pouring more water you can draw some tea into the pot itself. Do that a thousand times and you develop a depth of flavour
Nice, beautiful,art of tea❤
That was amazing! What a fantastic event to be able to walk through! Thank you for taking us along, it was beautiful.

Love the Chinese unicorn
This was very nice Jesse! Thank you for bringing us along!
Wish you showed more of those pots! All of them! Man the bird gilding on the last one is beautiful
That one stole my heart!
Haha love the reference at the end to uncle Iroh from avatar the last Airbender
Wow! You got interviewed! I could tell they were very interested to hear from you

Lots of Japanese stuff originated in China so it would make sense there would be a Japanese equivalent
@@Browsingandbrowsing No, no- Those WERE Japanese. 😁👍👍

4:22 the vase (?) and that delicate table are soooo beautiful! Next to the lil tree. 😭
Loved this video- so cool to see all this!

4:45 Is there a practical reason for pouring water onto the lid or is that more of an extra flourish to the process?
to maintain the heat of the teapot?

I feared for the structural integrity of those ultra-thin cups when you appeared to give it a light squeeze, Jesse. 🤣
Yeah, yea culture is so nice. "very, very niice"
You have to do jianzhan master tea ware next!
3:05 more than a dragon, i think thats a Qilin. Might be wrong tho

Man Jesse, you're making us want to visit China! And now I want to learn the language, imagine being able to talk to about a billion more people??

What do you think of Purion tea pot ?
I feel like unless I’m doing something tea related what am I even doing
Omg are you still in china??? If so are you okay?! I see they are flooding badly 😢
there is a lot of tea pots there, is there a difernt way of making tea in china useing a tea pot
im only going off your shorts so i don't know if you've already showed something like that before
