Yayyy
Two green tea styles I like & would suggest are Chinese Gunpowder tea & Japanese Sencha
i can bring you mushrooms for tea,did you know you can make tea out of cacti? you can,the peyote pod can be cut into pieces and used to brew tea they grow wild in your area as does the san pedro
I’m just saying, a real modern rogue would drink beer coffee tea
An episode on coffee would be a great one to do after this
*raises hand* "Is instant ramen an herbal tea?"
"Yes, instant ramen is an herbal tea."
*puts hand down*
*raises hand again*
"Oatmeal is also an herbal tea."
*puts hand back down*
(Honorable mention to bouillon cubes)
Oatmeal is cooked and absorbs all the water so no, it is not in the larger tea leaf/herbal tea category.
@@That_Guy42 No no no no no no no. Cereal is herbal tea. Oatmeal is hot cereal. Therefore, oatmeal is herbal tea.
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
*Quietly hides the Cup-a-Soup*
@@jacthebeast005 yes, yes it is
Prince Zuko: Would you like to hear Uncle's favorite tea joke?... Well, I can't remember how it starts but the punch line is, 'Leaf me alone, I'm bushed.'
Pour one for Uncle Iroh 🍵
@@Boggsy. this reply was so well timed. I just finished making my tea
Hot leaf juice!
Remember that uncle iroh invented boba tea too :)
@@iamdunn1 it's true, I'm not a great tea maker.
To say that I'm impressed by this guy just doesn't do him justice. It's not just his depth of knowledge but his ability to articulate analogies on the subject is pretty amazing. Definitely has the heart of a teacher.
And he does it while flawlessly making and pouring tea. Very impressive.
Why does the Ad look like Brian and Jason trying to bring back the nudist cult to the compound?
Yes
I didn't know it went away???
@@StrokeMahEgo yeah, was about to say "bring back?"
I mean, I'd definitely drink the koolaid
There's nothing wrong with nudity, except for lack of pockets.
As part of the Gentleman series, please learn about fountain pens! A classic writing instrument that shows off your personality with choice of pen and ink.
Eww I like this idea. Who should our expert be?
@@cranfill why the "Eww" tho?
I ment it more as a hmm than a eww.
@@cranfill I'm not aware of anyone in the Austin area, but the folks over at Goulet Pens would probably be willing to help out.
I would love to see them try to write with quills
This is absolutely fascinating.
I’m absolutely captivated by this topic for some reason.
@@misterjeef5296 because like me, you had no idea tea had this much involved in it.
_ahem_
fascina-tea-ng. I'm not sorry
@@Qsie i used my one tea pun already, in a reply.
If you want to watch more, we have two seasons of episodes about tea filmed at th-cam.com/users/TeaHouseGhost
All this talk about tea being an art/disipline of equality and balance... really making me think back to a certain firebending uncle.
Honestly, this video inspired me to get a gaiwan so I can get the proper Chinese tea experience from green tea. I just use a French press or infuser right now, but that most not be the way
Wasn’t expecting a tea video, and I couldn’t be happier to be surprised
I want to put out my respects to So-Han, he was an excellent presenter in every aspect imaginable, and by extension, i also want to respect the Modern Rogue staff, for it is finding these kinds of people to present your subjects that make MR the great channel that it is. Thank you
Could not agree more, with this comment!
I love these kinds of episodes. A coffee one would be good too.
Soon! Soon!
Yes! Definitely
So, an herbal tea episode?
Do an interview with Black Rifle Coffee Company they have great coffee and they are in San Antonio Texas
Fly over James Hoffman for the coffee episode
I don't like tea. I just watched, enraptured, a 30 minute presentation on tea. I now want to find a shop that prepares tea like this and try it.
You can buy loose leaf and try it at home. No need for all the teaware. A small teapot and strainer would do to get started with. You can use brewing baskets for loose leaf too.
When you get it right, you'll be surprised how great it tastes without needing to add sugar at all.
Any reputable online retailers?
@@BilalKhan-ng3ex West China Tea sells online. white2tea/teaware.house, Bitterleaf, Yunnan Sourcing and Crimson Lotus Tea are some of the popular online vendors for tea and some teawares.
If you still don't like tea after going to a place like this then try getting into herbal tea like Rooibos. Better yet, Rooibos tea lattes.
Never would have guessed that this wasn't a cult episode based on the manscapped ad
Ah, you've read the case too?
If anyone can bring wholesomeness back to that property, who but the MR team?
This should be a mini series. Heck, any hobby could be it's own mini series.
Also, I need a High Mountain Oolong episode.
SoHan actually has a mini series on a variety of different teas. He's considered a bit of a controversial person in the tea community though, so be aware of that.
@@JustiaFiat controversial? How so?
@@JustiaFiat I don’t know why that sentence made me chuckle 😂😂 “he’s abit of controversial person in the tea community” 😂😂😂
JC you can check out @tea house ghost that’s a series that we produce at the tea house.
@@JustiaFiat :O
"Will it Tea?" Sounds like Modern Rouge/ GMM crossover
As a teahead, I'm super excited for this episode
Soooo good
same
YES. I'm so glad this happened.
You bri'ish ?
@@gl4989 Nope. Just someone who loves tea. Cheers:)
Loads of brits died inside when you mentioned a microwave
I have never heard of microwaving tea
I would never microwave tea itself. At most water before steaping
It's literally just a different way of heating the water why would it matter?
@@Falcodrin microwaves mess with the flavor of almost everything. Most of the waves of a microwave turn into heat but some alter the thing ment to be heated
@@Falcodrin it tends to effect the flavor. Plus I personally never steep the tea on a heating source.
As someone who drinks a ton of coffee but never drinks tea, I found this episode super interesting. That being said, I'd love to see an episode (or multiple episodes, really) about coffee.
Soon
I don't even like tea that much but I loved this guy explaining the culture
I get an Alton Brown vibe from this guy. Totally fascinating.
3:06 actually, “tea is the most consumed beverage” is correct! (Assuming the statistic is right in the first place) The definition of beverage excludes water!
I always told myself I don't like tea, then I actually got to try good more traditional tea and my mind was blown. Who knew adding sugar to everything isn't amazing
I could listen to this guy talk for hours. One of my favourite guests yet!
I love these types of episodes. Whiskey, wine, beer, tea. Stuff like that
They've gotta do a cannabis episode
Maybe they would have to go to Amsterdam or somewhere like that
So-Han presents as a tremendous natural teacher. Thoroughly educated, patient, and a gifted communicator. Cheers.
I hope for two things:
Most stuff involving So-Han.
Extended Outakes involving So-Han.
The history of tea is truly fascinating. I had the opportunity to sail on an actual schooner that was used in the tea trade.
Tea nerd here, I was so happy to watch this ep. Amazing.
I love this episode. They found someone who is clearly so passionate about what they do and they let him speak without constant interruptions. Please do more tea episodes!
That guitar metaphor is deep. I'd love to sit and just chat with him. I know so little of Eastern culture, but I do remember reading a book where an Asian girl has a service battle with an elder statesman where they try to out-humble each other in tea service. I bet he could talk for days on that sort of culture.
This was brilliant! Even tho' I've been a "tea-bird" for many years now there was a ton of stuff that I didn't know about when it came to tea. I'll be watching this again (probably several times) to take notes.
I'd be so happy to see an advanced episode! So-Han seems like such a great and enthusiastic teacher, I'd love to see him more.
Soon 😉
I am Bulgarian, and Kazakh, Actually from there... And here in Bulgaria we drink tea almost religiously haha. Black tea and gongfu tea is what we drink. As a teahead I approve.
Could you elaborate on the way bulgarians (kazakhs?) drink tea, please?
@@paschikshehu7988 In bulgaria we drink tea by making a concentrate of the tea and letting it steep for a while, and diluting it with hit water and milk until it fills a large tea bowl :D
PLEASE make this a series, this was incredibly informational and entertaining on so many levels.
Thanks my dude!
@@westchinatea No problem! Definitely going to try and stop by next time we make our way west!
@@westchinatea visiting y'all for a class next time I'm in Austin is on my bucket list. I've binged the hell out of the Tea House Ghost channel already.
probably my favourite episode so far, this guy is so knowledgeable about Tea but can explain it so simply that even I understood most of what he was saying.
Thank you!
So herbal tea is replacing the tea plant with any given herb! Fascinating! I could make lavender "tea" by replacing the tea leaves with lavender and doing the tea process with it. Im learning!
Couldn't have imagined how much I would love this episode and tea stuff
So-Han is so fuckin cool! he seems to vibe with yall really well and is such a great presenter !
12:43~ The correct way to write _shuǐ yú_ (also called a _shuǐ fāng_ 水方) is 水盂.
17:19~ According to the Chinese National Standards pertaining to tea, _Shēng Pǔ'ěr_ has to be pressed into cakes, like the tea in the next vid. Loose " _Shēng Pǔ'ěr_ " like in this vid are now technically referred to as "Sun-Dried Green Tea".
"Do it. Do it"
"God i love our relationship."
Modern Rogue 2021
I am now ready to go undercover at a british royal dinner party. Thank you gentleman
Sorry mate, but this is Asian tea culture, not British tea culture, you'll stick out like a sore thumb presenting tea this way here. xD
@@Mr-Tibbster NOOOOOOOOOO
Everyone talking about the cool bits of the episode meanwhile I'm just here to be a degenerate about that sponsor skit
That ending AD was something
As we were filming this I recall thinking "This is the dullest subject I could possibly imagine, but this guy has me more engaged than almost any guest we've ever had."
- Modern Rogue editing supervisor
What an interesting episode, and a very articulate teacher - I could listen to him record long-form podcasts about tea (I mean, I am British, so there is a natural tendency to obsess over the beverage anyway)! I love MR for episodes like this, shooting each other with non-lethal ordnance one week, learning ballet the next - the diversity is the essence of the channel's strength, to my mind.
I'm actually part way through the series he has on his own channel covering a bunch of different types of tea, and he was just as articulate 3 years ago when they were recorded as he was in this video. I'd say go check it out.
Wow. One of my favorite subjects that I never thought was Modern Rogue material! You made my day
I saw "Understanding Tea" and got so excited. I love tea and have been learning more and more. I have to try this practice. Please do more like this
was waiting to see how far they got into shaving Jason before they realized he'd have a watch shaped hair patch.
Brian asking a bunch of good technical questions.
Jason: “What if I put a McGriddle in it?”
the moment i click on a modern rouge video and go "... wait, that's So Han!" and quickly check i clicked on the right video, lol
Me too! kinda crazy seeing people I know on my favorite youtube channel
Opened video, WAS NOT READY !!!!
I love how you guys can do literally ANYTHING and you make it amazing and worth every second. I LOVE this channel and can't wait for part 2
This was absolutely amazing. One of my best learnings from the channel and that’s a high bar.
This was absolutely fascinating! So-Han's a great host.
So Han droppin the wisdom! What a great episode! Awesome stuff!!!
I love when you do videos like this. I hope you have a whole series lined up, because I'll watch them all multiple times.
Love these types of episodes. Would watch the advanced version for sure!
Super episode and joyful ad - love you all! x
I keep coming back to this episode. Glad you did another with him!
Amazing. Looking forward to seeing part 2
Hey! I've always wanted to get into tea, I would just imagine myself as old and drinking tea, being calm and healthy
Do it, it’s very soothing. Kinda like a meditation kind of thing
I think this is going to be my favorite series on the channel. I love tea and would love to learn more.
I love how simple yet complex the whole process is and how you can get so much enjoyment from something as simple as a cup of tea in a social setting. Please do more videos like this since it sheds a light on things you would not normally think of as interesting.
This may have been my all time favourite Modern Rogue episode's, I can't wait to see more of So Han!
Didn't expect myself to enjoy a video on tea out of all things. All the little intricacies and history and how it's told is quite enjoyable.
Great episode guys, would love to see more of you guys coming back there.
This epesode was delightful as heck and really inspired me to try and take a deeper look into making better tea. Great job!
These episodes are super informational and some of my favorites!
“My experience with tea is that there’s a bag and a microwave is involved”
You just angered the entirety of the UK
Don't shame them they don't know what a kettel is, also British people put milk in tea. Unholy but tastest actuallly not bad, though the I prefer the German way to tea
I appreciate the joke but while the British drink a lot of tea, the tea culture here is not really that sophisticated. We just usually use a kettle instead of the microwave because we already have them anyway. We still usually use the same cheap teabags. True tea culture mostly only exists in Asia.
@@MsJavaWolf That's how it is generally, yes, but Britain (mostly England) does have its own tea culture, especially evident in tea rooms.
I found english tea culture has more focus on snacks in addition to the tea instead of strictly tea tasting
How do I even describe the dress in the intro while being safe on TH-cam? Shirt... Roostering it?
This is my favorite series. I love diving into stuff like this. I’m balls deep into whisky and coffee as it’s the basis of my career, but tea is something I’ve been interested in for so long!
Absolutely loved this. Thank you
Love this guy, seen him on a couple of channels and he is so chilled, knowledgeable, and unfazed by the forced silliness of the main hosts.
i think this channel just exemplifies the incredible joy of learning and then applying what you've learned
Loved this episode I need another!
Also loved that opening ad!
Oh my god this guy is amazing. I love high quality tea, have had the pleasure of visiting a tea shop in North Carolina and loved everything I tried, learned a lot of what he's talking about, but his skill at the tea service, while also doing an amazing job at speaking and teaching about the tea, is just amazing to watch!
I really enjoyed this episode and would certainly love to see more tea videos!
More videos like this please!! He was so educational and entertaining
Been waiting for an episode on tea cause I bloody love tea!
Love to see my friend so Han with you guys, great video!
Sup buddy!
Fantastic episode !!!
This was amazing! I learned something every time So Han said something
So interesting to see! I knew there was a lot of culture around tea, but this is my first real experience seeing it! Would love more culture exploration videos like this!
honestly learning about tea culture in this episode was fascinating and really really nice to watch
great video
I was honestly expecting this to be pretty boring but it's nice to see someone so passionate and knowledgeable about his craft.
i love how so han mentioned the sequence of pouring in the second episode and the first pour he does here is the "pls leave"-pour :D (atleast the "weaking up"-part)
I'm 22 now. I'm just starting to appreciate the depth in so many different things. The world is so beautiful in it's complexity. Culture is developed synchronously it every direction. I just wish I'll be able to live long enough to travel along a few. This channel is helping with that. Thank you
I love these kinds of learning videos. Very interesting!
I really hope you guys never change the vast variety of things you cover! This show has gotten interested in so many things I never thought twice about ❤️
Really cool to learn about tea, and love the way you guys did things!
This was a really cool episode! I definitely like it when the guests walk us through the tradition of a given concept before they get into it
one of your best videos yet!
Ok, this was fascinating. More please
Ive been waiting for an episode on tea, it was great!
Definitely interested in part two! 🍵💚
What an amazing episode! I learned a lot today!
9:04 "BOILS DOWN TO"
He said only ONE PUN
Great episode. Love it.
“This is a new show. Will It Tea?”
Rhett, Link, and Jimmy Fallon: oh? You’re approaching us?
I hope you guys explore the social ramifications of serving teas and if there is anything that’s like a social faux pas when pouring / drinking. This was a delightful episode. Good job 👍🏻 👍🏻
Yes, this. Please. Everything they do with whiskey and cocktails but with tea!
