The light beckons from the end of the tunnel, caterpillars are busting out of their gooey cocoons as moths and butterflies, and we are starting to flutter and barrel roll our way back out into the world. As we emerge and congregate, how cool would it be to identify your fellow Rogues at a glance? Surgical grade masks with a single golden-yellow ear strap are a cheeky, subtle way to do just that! Read more about them at www.scamstuff.com/products/modern-rogue-masks. We’re giving away packs of 50 Modern Rogue masks to THREE winners of this week’s free giveaway. Enter for free at gimme.scamstuff.com for a chance to win (no purchase necessary, giveaway ends 7/22/2021). Congrats to the winners of last week's Rogue's Revenge giveaway: Caleb Shields and Manohar M. (we will contact you via email within the next two weeks.)
Is that tea pot made of Yixing clay? It looks like it, Yixing is a purplish - brick red clay that only comes from one place in the world, it's used for tea pots like this.
I hope I don’t get executed by the emperor when I serve tea wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOW I WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY, THANK YOU MODERN ROGUE!!!!!!!!
Please keep doing tea vids I'm loving them!
Bad news, the left strap is the gay strap
11:55 Who else learned that from Stardust Crusaders?
Can we get an episode that's just Jason and Brian preparing drinks for a judgmental panel of So-Han, Daniel, and Trevor?
This would be such a good special fr

14:48~ They're so lucky to have the opportunity to drink some 2010 Dragon Bro. Tea master Li Shulin actually lost all of his tea, his tea equipment, and most of his assets in a fire several weeks after this vid was uploaded.
Thankfully, So Han raised funds via crowd-funding to help him back on his feet, and now he has the tea processing business up and running again.
oh wow

I never thought I'd be so interested in learning about Chinese tea culture, but this is super interesting. I'd love to see more like this!
You gotta check out the Tea House Ghost UA-cam channel! So-han has so many great videos
So, pretty late to answer, but if you want to learn more, So-Han has a youtube channel, the one he plugs at the end of the video (TeaHouse Ghost) where he basically has a series (that ended only a couple months ago) that talks about this whole process, the tools used, how to use them, he talkes about every type of tea in it's own, long and very in-depth episode as well as giving an overview over the different types. I can't recommend it enough!
“The best tea tastes delicious whether it comes out of a porcelain pot, or an old tin cup. There is humble honor in poverty”
IROH!!!!!!
Thank you for reminding me of the best tea drinker in history
If you can't afford a porcelain pot, you can't afford any of the expensive tea
@@akale2620 thats not the point you don't need expensive tea or equipment it will always taste good
@@datboig9936 the best tea is usually very expensive. What d point?
Iroh: This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice
Zuko: Uncle, that's what *all* tea is.
I see a fellow man of ATLA class here. :)

@@jungleman3321yes.
On paper I think I want more scoundrel episodes, but I always watch these gentleman episodes multiple times. Loving the tea series!
The gentleman has been getting neglected for a minute
Can’t wait to see Brian and Jason be cluelessly enthusiastic, it’s probably one of the best parts of the show
I mean all of the experts usually say some version of just come in sit down snd be ready to learn and everybody will be willing to help you get your feet so their clueless enthusiasm is perfect for constantly going head first into new huge hobbies
Everyone's gonna be into tea after this, coffee share prices are gonna dive and they'll come after the tea rogues with pitchforks & torches....
Ive been on the tea train already, welcome to the station.
I may have ordered a tea set and some tea after watching this.
I’ve been into tea for years. Tea is amazing stuff.
@@alexandermarchus1328 - Been into a good brew of tea since I couldn't control my bladder/bowels, if you get me 😂, not that I could appreciate it back when I was a kid but there are a lifetime of ingrown memories, feelings and culture from having drank tea your whole life.
I made the switch already
"Nobody ever argues politics in China."
"It just never comes up!"
I wasn't sold on the idea of you guys doing a China episode, but now I wanna see you guys hunting for illegal tech in Shenzhen now.
So-Han mentioned the cultural revolution and my eyes bugged out of my head for a hot second.
Please do this! Everyone else is so political these days, I'd love to see you guys just cover the hidden cool stuff in China
They would get deported so fast, are you kidding XD
@@Erhannis not really, China is pretty safe if you don't actually start a revolution or so stupid shit
@@MelloOwnsRyuuzaki Oh, my comment was more about the Rogues than about China, haha; surely you've SEEN the variety of things they blow up or otherwise destroy, on purpose or on accident?
...Also I'm joking
So Han has been personally my favorite guest yet!
I agree.
I dunno man, that guy that shaved beards was pretty cool.
Prefer the guests who give the boys ways to hurt themselves but this was interesting
So Han, Trevor, and the guy from like, two years ago that taught them chokeholds
They're trying to trick us into thinking this wasn't recorded in the same session, silly Brian and Murphy
Modern Rogue always gives me a "what if the guys from Jackass hosted a PBS program" vibe
SOMEONE FINALLY PUT IT INTO WORDS!
Thats a truth bomb
Please go to China with mr so-han he’s a cool dude and a China travel episode would be awesome
Not a good time dude... Not a good time.
That'd be dangerous
@@Ghostrama13 I’m a dumbass. Actually forgot about Covid for a second 😂 no idea how that’s possible but it happened
@@xiiragezx not just Covid, uhh... yikes
if they do go, then I'm glad that they have VPNs, I'll say that much 21:12
The common cold is dangerous?
Genuinely got my gaiwan and cake of tea a couple weeks ago. Swapped out coffee for tea for a couple weeks. Missed my tea one day and grabbed a coffee... poured it out. Couldn't drink it. I accidentally made a switch off of coffee... and I love it.
Shout out to the cute dog in the background
this is officially one of my favorite Modern Rogue series
I said it last time .. and i'm gonna say it again ... theese are the best videos about tea, i have ever seen .. but not only videos ... this is the best journey through the tea culture, and knowledge i have ever watched, heard or experienced ... ever! .. i'm gonna go even further and i will say .. this is the best content i have ever seen online .. period .... please do some more ... this guy is so entertaining and knowledgeable ...
Check out YT: Tea house Ghost to see 3yrs of additional West China Vids about Gong Fu Cha
@@scottg.544 strongly ageee, hey dude, how long are you in to tea?
I still demand an episode 3 where Brian and Jason learn to serve tea to So Han
Thanks for this. I especially loved what he had to say about gongfu. This is a good way to explain to others why we are all great at some things and terrible at others when it comes to skill. Particularly ball sports.
Im gonna try one of them tea cakes.
takes a massive bite
@@Richard-dl3rt Will do! 👍Shouldn't be called cake if you cant take a bite of it. Im going to dip it in milk...
@@SAMPAIDAWG Wait until you find out about yellow cake
@@jonmarf Anyone using a wojak as their pfp, ironically or not, should be fed yellowcake.
@@skwaab I love cake bro! Some marbled yellow cake sounds good!
We need more "Jason's Jargon". That is all.
hell yeah we do
Don't joke about a China episode. Take my money and make it happen
I would 100000000000000000000000000% love to see a Modern Rogue episode in China drinking tea at a typical store.
Tea and Coffee are awesome.
I mix certain teas with my coffee every day.
What!!!!!!! How can you mix tea and coffe, these are oposing forces
So many Iroh quotes... and I'm ok with that.
Before watching: meh, tea, what about it? After watching: gotta go to China! Thanks for the extremely interesting episode(s)
I'd love to drink tea with this man.
Come visit the tea house!
He’s always hanging out in the teahouse!

So-Han is completely fascinating in how he converses with pertinent facts and interesting anecdotes all while seemingly effortlessly maintaining the continuity of the tea drinking.
BTW, you guys DEFINITELY need to take So-han up on his offer to go to China and experience the culture with a native guide. That is such a great opportunity!
The one thing I truly remember from my first visit to a legit Chinese restaurant was a friend teaching me the tap thank you. Haven't had an opportunity to use it since, but it stuck like glue.
So-Han has a way of talking that just feels like what I imagine being high on tea would feel like. He has the ability to talk in a way that relaxes you, but is still jovial. This is the place where Brian and Jason should have their non-accidental podcast
After the first episode, I was so bummed it was over, this is one of my favorite follow ups you guys have done
I've been learning Mandarin Chinese for almost 7 years. I've seen a lot of videos that incorporate this tea discipline with a language learning video. None of them compare to this 2 part video by Modern Rouge. Not even close. This video is so helpful in that 师傅 explains every detail and background story. I really love these videos. My goal is to find a similar teahouse near Portland. Great job.
actually i think that So-Han's sister tea shop is located somewhere in Oregon! I heard him mention it at one point but I don't have a good memory so I might be wrong. I'll ask him and I'll give you an address if I find the time.
@@sethsolorzano6859 thanks!
Just wanted to take a moment and thank whoever does the Video descriptions for these videos. The detailed links that cover absolutely everything covered go above and beyond.
Thanks!
This one was all Brandt!
Truth be told, my sister-in-law is in Texas, might have to visit and make a stop for tea.
this could honestly be a super cool series for exploring tea from different cultures.
If I ever happen across a tea house I won't look like an uncultured swine.
No amount of UA-cam watching could rinse the uncultured swine off me. Tea houses beware.
I actually had a conversation with So-Han and Erik(a staff member at West China Tea House) today(10/18/2022), and it was a real blast talking with them.
The tea episodes are legit gems that I never knew I needed.
This is actually really fascinating. I might try to get into this.
I would really recommend it, it's so much better than tea bags. If anyone is scared because of all the equipment, all you need at home really is just a gaiwan or pot and a cup.
I've been interested in Tea for a long time, but never really got to dive in and learn about it since, to be honest, it seems a bit too esoteric for me as someone with literally 0 knowledge about tea. These videos have really helped a ton and gave me a new appreciation and dare I say fascination for tea.
Dude it's literly me one year ago, you have to chack out the (youtube channel) "tea house gohst"
I'm so glad you guys went back for more tea education. So-Han is so good at explaining something I never in my life would have thought I'd care about that I find myself actively caring and wanting to learn more.
I hope there's like 10 more levels and we get to see all of them. This is fascinating
I second this motion!
I'm loving these so much. Next up: coffee!
Soon!
@@cranfill can't wait!
I love this series on tea. I knew a little bit more about it than just putting a tea bag into hot water, but damn all these little traditions are interesting.
Always glad to see an episode where it's not drinking or smoking... Which I'm glad is most of MR.
I often sprinkles a few grains of sugar in the bottom of the drinking vessel when serving. I don't stir it in, and let the last sip be slightly sweet. It refreshes my senses.
I'm lucky I had a fresh pot of tea on hand while watching this. I've got to visit their tea house soon.
What I've noticed after these two tea episodes is that Chinese "tea ceremony" has a lot of things in common with the Argentinian custom of drinking yerba mate.
for a second i was like holy cow why, and how are they talking that fast? then I realized I still had it on 1.25x speed.
Yupe. The way I enjoying Chinese tea is in free style. No a junk of ceremonies. There are thousands type of Chinese tea in different price range from few bucks to hundreds thousand. In fact, the Chinese tea can be categorised in 6 main type by the fermentation level, from mild to strong. White, Yellow, Green, Oo long, Black and Dark tea. I like Dark tea more than others.
This guy could even talk about cleaning dishes and I would be happy.
There’s actually a video of him doing that lol
@@ZootedTMan where can I find that?

"I actually do know Edgar, though." I love how quick this guy's wit is. 😂
I am offically petitioning for an understanding cheese episode
we'd love to do a cheese series!
loving the tea episodes so much more than I would have expected. they are so relaxing and calming to watch. I just might have to find a tea house near by and give it a shot
BRING THIS GUY BACK
These episodes were so cool!!
I would love to see another episode like this. Where you not only cover a skill such as preparing tea, or the intricacies of it, the one where you also get to learn of another culture
I think I need to get a tea set now.
I have 4, and i dont know how i lived without them
If you need tea advice (like favorite tea) let me know
Thanks, I wish I could try more teas. Unfortunately I am very sensitive to caffeine. I found a decafinated Sencha that is my everyday tea now. It's nothing fancy but I enjoy it.
This episode was so awesome and the promo code absolutely sold me. i cannot wait to visit the West China Tea House when i get a chance. i just purchased my own tea set and master cup, along with several small single servings of tea and a couple larger portions as well. This was one of my favorite episodes of any youtube channel in a while
Awesome! So glad to hear!
I was just thinking about it after watching their entire catalogue on their own channel. So glad to see this back on here once again.
Tea House Ghost is one of my favorite channels! I could (and have) listened to So-Han talk tea all day.
Yes, good, good job MR.
This guy is so charismatic and well spoken. His analogies are so great. 10/10!
Yes. More tea please.
I super love the tapping. My partner and I have a way to non-verbally say “I love you” by tapping or squeezing three times.
Just ordered an amazing little travel set to brew with. ❤❤
seeing So-Han in Y'all's channel is so surreal. I go to west china all the time and I'm super excited that you guys are giving this hidden gem of a tea house more publicity!
Been loving the tea episode, like “yeah representation!” 😂
This is such a perfect episode. The questions were top notch, the presentation is both refined and relaxed, the ad read is goofy and hilarious but still really informative, and the subject matter is "sub-culture" enough to be very interesting.
There is this uncanny satisfaction and joy knowing old men the world over chit-chat at hardware stores.
Umarell is an Italian phrase for older men of retirement age who like to stand around worksites
I could have this guy as a best friend. I love tea and could do this everyday.
I'm so glad there was another tea episode, I loved the first one so much!
Absolutely loving these tea videos. I’d honestly love to see them do almost a tea cultural tour. Learning the tea practices from the Middle East, to India, to England. It’s so interesting
Great seeing you guys back with so Han on the channel!
This is exactly what got me through the pandemic. I've been soaking this tea culture in for the last year and have loved every minute. I highly recommend Mei Leaf, Crimson Lotus, Yunnan Sourcing, and O5 Tea Bar. There is so much depth to tea its incredible.
If you have an empty cup it means you want more tea. That's pretty much how I live my life.!
If my cup is empty assume I want more tea
That chinese emperor story is a classic. Though in some more modern settings, a nod is good enough.
I am honestly considering buying a $90 tea cake after watching this
If you get the right bing and store it nice, it will actually appreciate in value!
Love these tea episodes. With all the mentions of different styles and philosophies I hope this isn't the end but the beginning of an ongoing tea series.
I seriously have no clue how these half-hour long videos go by so quick!
Would love to see more tea stuff!
Might be interesting to see personalities such as Brian and Jason start doing tea-streams.
Man, these two videos made me want to get my own tea set just to amuse myself. One thing I really like for some reason is the wooden frog that gets colored with time.
Then again, the thing that makes this so interesting is the fantastic expert knowledge we're getting from the host
love to see you did another one about tea its amazing
this was actually really interesting i hope they do more.
I noticed the finger tapping the whole time I was at West China Tea Company last month, but I assumed it was to say that it was to signal something else. I'm glad to now understand the real meaning for it.
This is awesome! You guys are just awesome, the way you cover so incredibly many topics this well is just amazing!
Thanks to this and the previous video, I've purchased a "travel" tea set and made my own drip tray to enjoy casual tea service.
The pun was tea-rable
This is a great episode. I really enjoy the high level of information in this conversation, paired with wit and the deep wisdom/knowledge of the tea master So-Han. Thank you for this content.
I remember when I really discovered the whole complexity of tea my mind was literally blown
There are "tea tasting" rooms in San Francisco's Chinatown where you can sample super high-quality teas prepared like this. It is SO good. I particularly like the premium Oolong teas grown at high altitudes. They can potentially be super expensive (like by weight, cannabis can be cheaper), but totally worth.
So-Han I love your channel!!
I am from Bosnia, and people here drink coffee when you are a guest. And I realized if you don't want any more coffee, you don't drink it all. No one taught me that, but it seems its done in china's tea drinking.
This was great! I'd also learn to love about the Japanese tea ceremonies!
I really like So-Han as a guest host, he seems like a super cool dude :)
7:09~ 8:15~ That means:
1 _bing_ (餅) = 357 g
≈ 12.6 oz.
≈ 72 servings
1 _tong_ (筒) = 7 _bings_ (餅)
= 2.499 kg
≈ 5.5 lbs.
≈ 504 servings
1 _jian_ (件) = 12 (or 40) _tongs_ (筒)
= 84 (or 280) _bings_ (餅)
= 29.99 (or 99.96) kg
≈ 66.1 (or 220.4) lbs.
≈ 6048 (or 20160) servings
So a horse is/has been worth a little under 30 (or 100) kg (a little over 66 {or 220} lbs.) of tea. I’ve also heard that a _jian_ (件) is 40 _tongs_ (筒) so I also put that calculation in as well.
These have been some of my favorite episdoes you guys have ever done.
This is just the thing i have been looking for! Thank you go teaching us so mutch 😁
my favorite part was the dog making a quick appearance to say hi to jason
Please do more on coffee and tea, these are incredible! Thanks guys!
Another stellar tea episode, thank you fellas, thank you So-Han! I'd be fine with this series going on forever! (Bonus points for adorable dog whose name spelling I will not assume).
