@@jcjc7771would’ve never thought to do that. I use them in compost. It is pretty interesting to see just how far the leaves shrink back up when they’re fully dried out after a session.
I very rarely do any shots with two hands and then because I really don’t like wearing that neck thing but for the hamburger I couldn’t think of any other way
Personally. I pour it how the woman poured in the fancy teahouse video you showed. So hamburger style but without picking up the bottom dish. If you place your ring finger on the little rim on the bottom it won't burn there. Typically lol. Edit: yes I even do the little wrist rotation at the end. It does allow the water that is stuck in there to come out
Working as a cook, it's absolutely necessary to burn your hands and fingers so you can train your hands to feel comfortable handling hot things, such as bacon and melty cheese. Making tea though, it's not necessary, but every time you accidentally or intentionally burn your fingers, you make them a little less heat sensitive.
@internet_internet minimal wrist movement? Just like you're gonna haul off and punch someone, but there happens to be a spoon in your fist, and you just noticed a nice, nonthreatening bowl of cereal in front of you Edit- usually seen with an underbite, but I'm betting that ain't you 😁
I’ve found making a C shape with my hand so that my thumb is one one side and all my fingers are on the other side is the easiest for me. The lid is held in place with the part of my palm that connects to my pointers finger. I find this holds it securely without burning my fingers and keeps my hand out of the steam. Although it does look a bit less elegant. But the most important thing is being able to drink the tea without burning myself. The other thing is using high quality tea like the kind Jesse sells which means the steep times are shorter. The whole gaiwan will heat up too much if it has to sit for longer.
Love those cups. I'm making my lapsang tea all wrong. I didn't know you have to pour off the first brew. I'm such a barbarian and sink it all. LOL 😂😂😂. I've of these days.I need to buy one of those tea cakes
I have pretty shaky hands so for my larger gaiwan (120ml) I can only use the hamburger method. But for my smaller 60ml gaiwan, its small enough that i can use the standard one handed method pretty well.
Depending on your gaiwan and what material it’s made from makes a difference too! I have a cute glass one that I only use for green teas (low temp) bc it burns the fuck out of my fingers but my nice porcelain one doesn’t hurt. I have a cute travel set that is double walled inside where your fingers hold and it doesn’t even feel hot which is nice! I’m excited about o receive my new travel set I order from your site. :) Another one for my growing collection.
Am I the only one that looks at the hamburger method and thinks "There are many types of people in the world and I am definitely not that type because what the actual shit? How?"
As much as I'm interested in the whole process, what if you have a limited, shared space: is it possible to use a gaiwan without pouring it all over the counter or should I opt for a pot?
I bought this exact set of teaware from your store and I have a question...How big is this gaiwan? How much does it hold in ml? Do you carry any gaiwan larger then this one?
Me after eating the Gaiwan (I misunderstood the burger method)
It’s gonna feel even better coming out
Dried red tea leaves (after a session) work well on burgers

@@jessesteahouseAt least I got the tea!! :)
All this time 😮 that's how you get these angles!
I very rarely do any shots with two hands and then because I really don’t like wearing that neck thing but for the hamburger I couldn’t think of any other way
I also like to offset the lid in a way that the steam doesn't go directly into my palm, I remember having issues with that my first time.

Her technique was super solid
You develop what I call Grandma Hands! Named after watching my grandma handle tortilla on the stove.
Oh sh!t. 8-/ 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Gotta level up them tea fingers. Gentle movements and poker face, even in the face of imminent heat.
I just thought mildly burning your hands was part of the process...Oops 😅
Well eventually you do get kind of used to the heat but you shouldn’t feel like pain is *necessary*

@@samneibauer4241as long as you can still feel those temp differences than all is fine
I get the feeling that seeing someone using the two-handed "hamburger" method is akin to seeing an adult eating soup using a spoon with a closed fist
I don’t understand?
How else am I supposed to grip a spoon?

hamburger tea pet when?
Love when j uses profanity . Hamburger method is the bumper bowling of tea pouring

If I did the hamburger I can just see one part slipping and it all spilling apart in my hands

What if I gots Jr. Whopper hands Jesse?
Whopper whopper whopper whopper
Nice upgrade with the phone holder around your neck instead of using your mouth 😆

Hold like burger, don't eat like burger.
Oh sh💩 😂
I also struggle with this but its partially because I forget I can burn myself if I put too much water in 😂😅
Place a small card on or near your tea table to remind yourself?
@@totally_not_a_bot Not a bad idea, I'll try that, thanks!
Jesse also uses that camera rig for his other POV channel.
Nice now you don't have to hold it with your mouth
