(To a watching spider on the ceiling): Do your job, spider!
OK!
Welcome to.... ahhhhnother episode of unboxing presents that I'm not quite sure what do with
afterwards.
This is a very fancy, um, tea set, apparently, from the Menghai Tea Factory in Yunnan.
And I got this, ahh, as a New Year's present.
Um, which is awesome.
But, as you're about to see - let's unbox this.
Bit of wood.
(Refering to camera position): Let's move that down a little bit.
Groin shot.
Tea pot.
Thumbnail.
Meargh.
(A poem)
Filter for the - filter.
Filter.
(British accent) Filter for the tea!
Cup a tea, love?
Ohhh...
#SEXYTIMES That's just a shot of my ... humps.
My humps, my humps, my humps.
Ohhh... fancy!
Look at that!
(Hits boxes on floor.)
Oops!
Hope I didn't break anything.
Alright.
Think this goes first.
Some sort of rack.
(Tweezers) For, um, eyebrows, I'm guessing.
And there's this (squeezes many times) pump thing.
And ... now what?
Think what I need to do is just take a little photo... go on to Chinese social media,
WeChat.
Alright, it's been two minutes and nobody's responded yet!
So I'm just going to push on with how I think it works.
Ummmhhh.
Alright.
I think this ah, hashtag sexytimes pump...
There is a tray here, let's just move that... for collecting um - you're going to see in
a minute.
And because there's this drain hole here, I can only imagine that this attaches on to
that.
Um... does it?
Pah.
Where else would it go?
Yep.
Attaches on to that.
And then, um, and then I'm not too sure actually.
Pshhhaa.
But this is the purpose of this video.
I'm having a go.
I'm, I'm doing this and then I'm hoping that someone out there, um, ideally who is Chinese,
maybe, or is well, well um - not well - just knows #DISTRACTED.
BANGING OF DOOR.
IS IT A BURGLAR??
Why is that?
Is there a window open??
IS HE COMING BACK?
SLAM.
IS HE DEADS?
FOOTSTEPS.
DOOR.
Sorry about that!
The ah, the wind's blowing all the doors open and um, interupts me.
Pssshh.
Right so the purpose of this is for me to have a go and hopefully someone who is ah
more educated can correct me and just explain certain things.
Or if some of my pengyou ah come back, then I'll fill in those gaps.
But I want to use this, it's a lovely gift, apparently this is all very expensive, so...
gotta make a video and show off on YouTube.
OK, ah guess we start with some hot water.
And...
I'm going to use what I know about drinking chinese tea.
Umm... you get sort of three... three batches of it normally, um... batches?
Three run throughs, um, so you would... and I'm guessing this is for getting the tea out.
I think that normally there would be like a tea cake or something that goes in here
maybe?
Maybe that's for breaking it up or whatever, but, um, and I guess you'd fill that up a
lot more.
I don't like cha that strong.
Something just fell through.
Um... so ... the first drink of the tea would be quite bitter, the next bit because it's
sort of flushed through is good and the third bit's getting a bit weak.
It's always in threes.
A vlog friend of mine, Vafa Anderson, was living in China and, um he exited out via
the Tibetian area, almost losing a drone in the process.
And in one of his beautiful vlogs he had this - maybe that's too much?
-- um, this bit of a tea ceremony and basically they would pour out the first lot [cut to
VA video, Chinese/English] -
gosh, I really did put too much in.
Um...#TRYNOTTOPEE CHALLENGE ... I don't know if this is an offering ritual - ohh, it's
coming through here now!
If this leaks out, I'm going to be in so much trouble with my wife.
Um... whether it's an offering to whatever.
Awww gawd, actually... look at that.
I've done this wrong.
Whoops, it's on the carpet.
Nervous laughter.
Anyway.
I think there's a practical use in that it it just gets - if you're really a tea conisour
it gets rid of that first layer of bitterness.
Ah man!
Precious pup laugh.
I've got no idea what I'm doing.
Is that meant to drain into something else??
Right, and then put that back in [Playing draughts]
Ahhh, add some more water.
I have, I did YouTube or Google search um the tea factory to try and get and idea, but
all I could find on YouTube was basically non-Chinese people doing it and it didn't
really explain some of the questions I had.
Like, even am I doing this right?
OK, so that's full now so it can sort of steep, I guess.
This is actually a Turkish tea glass, got in Turkishland a long time ago.
Been drinking some strong Chinese spirits out of that to um help - for medishinal purposes
lately.
OK, so let's give that a couple of minutes.
Um, this is the thing I'm really not sure about.
Um, is it a rack for a lot of little tea cups.
To me when I look at it, it makes me think of tequilla shots and it's where the wedge
of lemon goes.
Um, cos as you can see, my...
[Playing draughts] ... that's just a disaster waiting to happen, that's more of a disaster
than filling up a thing with hot water that's flowing onto your carpet.
And your wife's going to growl at you.
But she'll never find out.
Wait - [remembers camera].
She doesn't watch my channel anyway.
Or read the closed captions.
OK!
So.
Let's take that out.
It's perhaps a bit weaker but as I say, I don't like it too strong.
Slurpahhh.
Well.
There you go: fancy tea set.
Um... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Precious pup laugh].
I like it, I like this table thing.
I do have a bit of green tea.
I've got quite a bit of it at work, um, friends - this is a common gift I guess when they
go back to China or whatever.
Probably should drink more of it.
So that I don't have quite so much of it in storage.
Alrighty!
He ba!
Slurp, um, yeah.
It's nice, a bit of [insert correct word here: ritual?] ceremony to it, a bit of celebrating the tea,
um, taking some time out, ah, yeah, I can make use of this.
Zai Jian!
Oh!
Someone's come back!
Oh wait, they just - they just liked my post, they [precious pup laugh] Tell me what I'm
doing!
Ha.Ha.Ha.
