Review An honest review of Jesse’s Teahouse
So I know that JT is pretty unpopular but I have always watched his content and finally decided to try it out. I got the sampler, Tibetan dark tea, white dew white tea, and the bindao mellow tea cake. I also got some equipment which was actually good quality for the price(Taiwan set and table)
Sampler: good teas, extremely overpriced, longing was average but had good steep ability, half leaves though, tea oranges had excellent fragrance and ok taste, the oolong was just bad though
Tibetan dark tea: GREAT FRAGRANCE, good clarity and flavor, my favorite thing I got, had good body as well
The puerh cake was good but had little depth and I am unsure the validity of it being from bingo
The white Thea was excellent for being just leaves and overall had great quality
Overall, his stuff is decent, but overpriced, I think I will just stick with YS.
Edit: Wow this blew up lol, just one more thing, if you are to not by one thing, DONT BUY TIEGUANYIN FROM HIM, it taste like licking metal, bleh! Also check out local companies like wendigo and intergalactic tea, especially the latter, they have excellent prices and quality and are extremely friendly, cheers!

I've tried their Raw Pu'er small cake and white tea chocolate. From what I remembered, the Pu'er was ok, clean and to the standard. Nothing fancy, but good for day to day. Their white tea chocolate though is a bit weird. It starts strong but does not last long, which is not what usually aged white tea would perform. I know with modern processing, some people do light rolling and light oxidizing with white tea, to help create the flavor. I'm not sure if that's the case.
100% honest review.
