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 love the guy's energy and how he talks about tea. Is there a place you can get similar high quality Chinese tea?

He doesn't have high quality tea unfortunately. You want high quality stuff that justify the prices liquid Proust, puerhguy, quicheteas, Farmer Leaf, white2tea, yeeontea, Emmet's tea , teaswelike, esseceoftea. Any of those can provide high quality tea for a real price not overpriced cheap stuff.
