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).

I can't recommend it enough!

Truth be told, my sister-in-law is in Texas, might have to visit and make a stop for tea.
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
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.

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 is really fascinating. thanks for sharing these videos.
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

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.
We got the advanced lessons! This is a good day!
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.
I'm kinda hyped they did another tea episode, the previous one got me quite interested in spicing up my tea game
yes, make this a series love this!
