incredible eppy, fantastic guest, you guys are killing it right now. the energy is really infectious! incidentally, also loving how much having guests is changing up the topics of conversation. as a listener since around the release of episode 3 i did notice that a lot of the same games chat crept back in fairly often (which is obviously to be expected when its the same people involved in the conversations). things feel really varied right now. keep it up, big love

Glad to hear it! I think the variety helps spice it up for us too, so we're not just recycling jokes (though admittedly I [brandon] do miss recycling jokes...)

Had a great time with this episode! I used to work in a tea store so I'm living for all this tea talk! Lapsang is great but it has such a strong scent that it can corrupt other teas any make everything taste like Lapsang if not properly stored!

BTW for anyone looking for unicorn grass, it's also known as Crab's Feet, and Pangxie Jiao. I had a heck of a time tracking down info on it but it's basically an orchid-like plant that grows only on old tea trees in yunnan province. so... it's not super easy to find! I got mine in chinese herb shops around the bay area, so I'm gonna go on a quest for some more. (~brandon)
