That would be great. I've been following Don for years now and over the past few months got into der Hoff as well, bought a Kingrinder and v60 and am making the best cawfee of my life. We just need a comparable figure in the yerba mate world to complete the picture.
Tea name: Tobacco Time Traveler That name comes from the conversations you had where everyone agreed on a tobacco smokiness but that it had notes of both a younger and a more aged tea. I'm also imagining a cover art of a sand-cat smoking from a hookah with a bowl of dates on the table next to the hookah.
Nothing beats tea with friends.
22:33 - my favorite mantra of this year
Just found your channel. ngl, I was inspired to research Gong Fu after watching Avatar The Last Airbender lol. It's really great knowing there's a community with tons of information for something like this. I appreciate it. Thanks for the years and years of videos I gotta binge now! haha.
I love these videos of you selecting random, unknown cakes! Who KNOWS what you could come up with? There's something in there from the 70s for all we know.
I'm gonna say, call it the Hookah Heathen since it's got the fruit, smoke, floral notes that can either bless or curse your taste buds depending on brewing parameters. 🧙♂️🍵✨

Doubt they will name their tea from a drug implement
These sessions are the best! Different perspectives and experiences coming together. Please do more of these :)
one of my favourite series, please do more, and thank you for sharing!
So much fun listening to the banter, I’m in the middle of a heavy session of a Lincang blend that’s bold and has a very heady Qi. So the video has me laughing. Thank you and cheers…
3 RANDOM CAKES I SEE RIGHT HERE LOL. Just messin... I'm enjoying your accents and tea, knowledge and just overall video content
How about ,,Frog Morton on the Leaf’’ ? Inspired by the English Tobacco blend with a smoky serenity, and under-the-tongue sweetness.. 😆
Pasha's Desert Fruit Cake. Pasha's Pudding. Desert Dreams.
I would call it Tabaca Philiy :) Thanks for the great and enthusiastic video. Would love to see more.
I think a nomads delight would be a great name
For a Name, I would call it 'Tropic Smoke'. Tropical, for the fruit interplays with the cat urine smell, and the 'smoke' for smokey cigar notes and the various other ways it leans into that smokeyness. This is just a cheeky quick one, as I have to log off. haha.
Late night in the oasis, I think this name really goes well with the flavor profile of this tea.
"Forgotten Caravan" "Fruit of the dune(s)"
22:20 Nothing wrong with wanting a bit more Monocle Boss. 😋
love to see you guys talk about tea with true passion! how about "Cactus Bite" in honor of the poor tongue of Adrian?🌵
- Pasha's Wanderlust - Midnight at the Oasis - High Class Hookah
How about “Que Pasa Wey?” with the double meaning of what’s up bro and Pa Sa way (dao), OR the more direct “Alley Pee, Good Tea”. 😂🙏🏼
Love Don‘s cup😍
Hey Mei Leaf, I've just met the Chaho styled clays which have their strainers in their lids! How do you like this style?
Cake sounds like the epitome of the “unresolved wanderer”. I’m thinking about the story of Sméagol from lord of the rings. Mysterious origin/ age. From a agricultural shire but that’s buried deep under the years of wandering ancient & foreign lands, taking on the darkness of the forests. Promised to be the hero of his story when given possession of the one ring, but ultimately cursed to wander to no end until he met his resolve in mt.Doom (the stomach, lol)
I still remember you sticking that zhuni into the camera on IG and saying that it rocked your world, Don; and was really looking forward to a Meileaf zhuni. What were your reasons for rejecting it?
Hi Don! I don't know if you're reading this but please try Avataa Oolong from Nilgiri, India. It blows away any Darjeeling I have tried till now..
Honey-Berry Hookah Master, and the signature animal definitely has to be a fire salamander.
Dromedary Berry is the name of the tea
Cross Motion Imposter. Seems fitting 😂
Desert Bandana!😉
"Tickle your fancy"
Alleyway Hustler!
✨Desert delight✨
Nomad's delight
Small Town Sophisticate
Pasha's Plumpy Fruity Pleasure
Corner fireplace
“Turkish Chew”
“Cigars with Friends”
Caravan Respite. Lady or man leaning back in a striped tent in the desert, hookah pipe near him, bowl of tea in his hand.
Are these guys also in the tea business?
Phat Lenny!
The Alleyway Campfire
How about: "Smoke Screen Vegabond"
Unknown Pasha tea name? Desert Clouds
Desert Juice
Honey barrel Puerh
Sweet Hookah
Name of tea: "Devious Sales Pitch" Adrian's initial impression was of a young and sweet tea. But the tea is cunning. That is just the innocent front to the sales pitch. This salesman (the tea) is actually peddling pitch (resin).
Straight motion semiconductor
I have a submission for a name. The general consensus is in the 7 range,therefore I submit “Magnificent Seven”,like the film,inspired by “Seven Samurai”,by Akira Kurusawa.
Let's give this cake name: "Eight Chunks of Pasa". It's chunky, it scores straight 8 out of 10 and in chinese the 8 is generally considered lucky. You definitely was lucky to pick this one from your cupboard! ;)
Name? Oasis Delight
Camp Fire Fruit Cake
CAT PISS FEVER
Street hookah :D
“Wooded Wonder” Because it had the wood in it and was wonderfully pleasing.
That cake should simply be named “Plumpy” ! 😂😂😂
My brother thinks it should be called Transcendental Tobacco Farmer
My five ideas if one takes your fancy but not quite right feel free to change wording Sunshine falls. Rainbow paradise Passionate date Harmony Black magic
"Camels Delight"
Alleyway alchemist Midnight Caravan Manuka Mirage Desert Dessert Hazy Shisha Lounger
Pasha Farmer's Fun
Lexi Juice
Hi everyone.
I'd call it - Date With a Foreigner/Stowaway. You're abroad, it's evening, and you're on a date in a festival tent, nibbling dates and physalis, all cosy while people relaxedly chat and puff on their pipes around you. Also a nod to the foreign object. I've found some sizeable, compressed and aged beetles in a cake I was halfway through 😑🤢
name of the tea: Juicy plump :D
Smoke Signal Receiver
Alleyway Cigars 😄
" Distracted pathfinder "
Honey Cigar Conniseur
Smokey Dokey should be the name !
i brought my first cake and it is strong and i didnt enjoy it at all .

It’s typically recommended to get a sample before a cake so you don’t end up wasting your money. Have you tried lowering the amount of leaf, the temperature of the water, or the steeping time?
