What I love most is the tea service. The ritual of the cups moving and water dumping... mixed with the big smiles and great conversation. It's really something to fall in love with. 🥰😍❤️
You can definitely grow passion fruit in America. There is even a native variety called maypops which can be grown in colder climates. The purple type that you had can be grown in warmer places like California, Texas, Florida, etc! I grow a ton in Central California!
The shop owner's smile when he was talking about his tea and farm was so pure
This was fun. You can see the root of tea here. Just enjoy. Don't worry about being too fancy, just enjoy. I think people get wrapped up in the externals too much.
I bought a sampler box and a little set and went to my parents and they love it. They dont understand the culture. But my dad drinks instant tea (no sugar no anything). And to see his face when he had good red tea was awesome. Were just farm boys that love tea. And now we love the good tea. Also the patina on that tea table is insane
Master Tsai is a treasure and so are you Jesse, I love you guys
Thank you for being my tea guy
I love the Composting right at the Plants. XD
I know that passion fruit is grown in Hawai'i where it is known as liliko'i.
Id plan my whole trip overseas around visiting his shop❤ ...one day😊
Just found this channel from Reddit video on your finger t and i love this video, ill sub
Oh I love this! It reminds me of Mr Rogers episodes where he would visit someone’s shops and learn about their trades. Super calm and enlightening.
He pulls off that sweater really well doesnt he? I thought the same thing I wish he was my dad lol
Jesse you should do Taiwan tea tours !!!!
I can't wait to drink these teas!
truely a brilliant place to go to
Lovely video! I found it quite cute to have Tsai Laoshi at the end, just standing there smiling and looking around patiently, waiting for Jesse to finish his monologue haha
Here in Hawaii we grow a lot of passionfruit and lilikoi. In fact, it grows so well here that sometimes its extremely hard to maintain bc the vines just take over! Love the content and please keep it up with these tea shop videos!
Awesome video, Jesse. 👍👍 I loved seeing the master handle his tea ware. Speaking about the aftertaste- It's Friday and Lent, so I'm drinking from this repugnant puerh cake that I've kept for almost 20 years, hoping it would get better. I've tried brewing it every way I can think of, and it always tastes like a bitter old library book. haha But I've noticed, in the last few years, that the aftertaste is actually... semi-ok. Very strange, and I wonder if you have any thoughts on the phenomenon.
I know there’s a species of passion fruit that grows wild in Texas, we don’t really eat it but it sure smells good
Yeah, maybe south Florida can grow it well. It's supposed to grow in our southern US region. (I'm growing some now!) ❤
I love watching these videos, where I live everything is white washed, including food from other nationalities. My tea journey is mostly just starting but I'm in love already.
Passionfruit can totally grow in the US as long as the climate is warm! It originates from the Amazon region. In indigenous Arawak languages it is called marudiyure and is prized as a medicinal herb. It was missionaries who called it passionfruit/passionflower.
Oh also I'm so glad that you mentioned the aftertaste because it made me realize that for me the aftertaste is often my favorite part of tea. When I'm having a nice green tea, I breathe out slowly through my nose with every sip.
Yes, you can grow passionfruit in California.
Beautiful place.
Passion fruit and their flowers actually grow wild in parts of central Texas. I mostly see the light purple flower variety.
Usually the fruits are very small, and aren’t generally worth eating. They can be sweet, but the texture is often poor.
But they’re here.
Passionfruit does grow in America
I said this to add my comment for further spread of this great content
Thanks for the video, cool to see the tea farm.
Wow man, what a nice trip! Not many chiller reasons to travel
amazing video so cool to take a small glimpse into where the tea comes from. hope to see many more journeys from you traveling back to China and Taiwan. Thank you for the tea!
Great video! All I could think about at the end when you gave the lil sign off in English with tsai laoshi next to you, I just pictured the penguins "Smile and wave kowalski, smile and wave..."
That tea farm and store are so beautiful! I love his tea table!!
May i know where the location is ? Thanks
You can grow passion fruit in LA!
I've been told passionfruit would grow really well in my part of America! However, it must be given lots of space to run, else it can take over the garden with its foliage!
There are varieties of passion fruit that you can grow outside planted in the ground in USDA zone 5 and they survive just fine. They die back in the fall and winter going dormant as the rhizomes underground then sprout sending up new growth in late May to June when the ground warms up. They are super weedy and the rhizomes are very aggressive as are the vines so you need to be careful where you plant it! The passion fruit is about 2.5 inches in diameter and really good to eat!
I freaking love tea 😩😩😩
😀👏
Passion fruit grows in America lol
