3:22 >> And then because the the the >> original size, it already has perfect mouth feel. >> It's Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say mouth feel? Oh, okay. Mouth feel. >> There's uh it's not al dente. >> Oh, al dente. >> It's supposed to be al dente because it's a certain squish and there's a slight sweetness that it's supposed to have. Doesn't got none of that ████ It's ████ flavorless.

Like the boba has to be So, it comes vacuum sealed. So, it's not tainted. It's vacuum sealed from Taiwan. >> Wow. >> But it's packaged. And you know how Japanese people be ████ doing origami? So, the packaging looks good. >> Yeah. Yeah, but if you open a package and it get exposed to interracial marriage, I heard it gets ruined. >> Yeah, it does every time.

And you you can serve it like that. >> It just like fully loses shape and just melts away. >> It's just brown water. >> It was weird. Yeah. >> So, you have to start boiling it and then you throw it in. >> All right. So, like when it comes to I know you know a lot about boba, but like >> if if the amount >> I ████ wish I did it, dude. >> If the amount you know is 10, how what was the number before you had Juni? How much did you 20? >> It's that much. >> I used to >> You weren't you weren't an enthusiast to casually. >> No, cuz my thing I loved matcha and >> But you also love facts. I feel like he just would know a lot of facts. Japanese facts. >> Yeah, Japanese facts. >> Taiwanese didn't just It just didn't arouse me. >> Bro, you asked Joe about mochi. He knows

It's a colonized item, so it's not really >> not really your your jam. >> It's a colonized item. >> colonized item. >> But okay. So, the best teas though, they like like loose leaf tees, they come from like Taiwan and China and places like that. But matcha specifically, if you get it outside of Japan, fake. >> Wow. >> It's not the real. >> Is that kind of like >> Is it Juby outside of Japan? >> Nope. Not the Not the matcha. >> No, cuz the matcha comes from Japan. We literally been there. We seen the factory. Yeah, >> dude. This guy's crazy. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just a pervert. >> Allegedly. An alleged pervert.
6:42 >> Your opinion doesn't matter cuz he's a pervert. >> Is that very similar to how uh like certain wines if they're from not from Italy or from France are not legit like that kind of thing? >> Nope. Because you could have good ass California wine >> as in like champagne. You can't call it champagne unless you call it from champagne. Oh, like that. >> Yeah. Is that similar or it just isn't legit enough? >> Get that ████ Get that ████ out of here. >> Hey, did you you can hear the quality of that shirt. >> Ceremonial grade. >> Why does it smell like you already wore it? It smells like cologne and everything, dude. It smells like you wear it like so often. >> I don't even wear cologne. >> You wear it to bed. >> It smells like a ████ street wear guy. >> A street wear guy. You're sitting next to street wear guy. >> Is that your shirt?
7:35 >> There's so much pain in that same >> street wear guy. >> He looks over Anthony. Streetware guy. >> I don't know, man. A lot of You guys should be on my side, but there's >> What's your side exactly? >> The side of Ji. >> Oh, yeah. >> All day, every day. >> Can I give you a super honest statement? >> Super honest. >> Okay. So like uh super >> obviously there's way better boba than Jumbi, but not by much. Not by much. Like Boba's actually pretty >> How are you going to say way better and then not by much? >> So I'll take you I'll take you I'll >> way better. >> I'll take you to a spot in Vegas. That's boba. To me, it's probably the best boba you can get in America right now. >> Really? >> And then go to Ji after. >> And it's that's that's 10 out of 10. >> Uh-huh. >> Jumbi is probably 8 and 1/2 or 9 out of 10.
8:25 >> No, no, no. It's like the difference of A and A+. Can you tell the difference? I know an Asian mom can. That's the difference. See, so she goes to those special like super Taiwanese boba shops and she gets it for the boba, right? >> But then that's not our point. For a matcha shop to do a level boba, that's impressive. >> I I honestly think most people can't tell. >> 8.5 is a B. But let's keep going. >> But that's Bart's grading cuz he's Taiwanese. >> Japanese grading is A versus A+. >> Yeah. I I guarantee most people won't be able to tell. >> Uhhuh. >> But if I lined up all the other ones like Boba Crime or Bapioca Express, whatever, >> you'll be like, you'll be like, "Oh ████ this is ████ like D, F, G, and then this one is >> like a minus A." >> Do you need like a refined palette in
9:16 order to tell like which matcha is superior? Like how do you know that a match is necessarily better than the other? >> Oh, when you drink it, you'll be like, "This is something so better." >> We've had people come to the store who have bought matcha from someone else, brought the drink to Jumbi. Throw it away. >> Can you add matcha to this cuz this tastes so bad. Like they've literally brought their drink and been like, "Can you fix this or can I get another one?" >> What does bad matcha actually taste like? >> Water. >> So just water. It doesn't taste like So, so one is uh >> you'll you'll taste a lot of the grains. So, like a lot of like Starbucks, your favorite matcha or like coffee bean. So, like >> look how ████ pale that ████ >> A lot of people drink like culinary grade. It's me, it's meant for baking. It's meant for other things. It's more bitter. It's stronger. So, then they get
10:07 used to that. And when you actually have like good clean ceremonial matcha, um you think it should be more bitter. What's the ceremony in ceremonial m? >> No, it's not. It's It's throw. It's made for ceremonies. >> Ceremon. >> Oh, that's it's the highest grade made for ceremonies, right? Culinary is like kind of like the swag. So, it's not the chronic. So, it's the stress weed, right? So, you use that because it's a stronger kind of like and it's like not as good quality and it's grainy. So, it's kind of like you could taste like >> Oh, yeah. You get it stuck in your the top of your mouth. >> But the ceremonial grade, it's not sandy. It's like super soft powder. So once you add water to it, it dissolves. >> It does. Yeah. No, it doesn't. You ████ >> Like a good analogy would be like bad sushi tastes like dirty ████
10:58 >> Good sushi shouldn't taste like dirty ████ >> No. >> Like that. >> So if you're like, "Wait, how come this So if you have a uned uneducated palette and you go get really good sushi, like how come this is this isn't crazy fishy like ████ rotten abalone?" Cuz some people like that >> cuz you're not supposed to taste like that. It's supposed to be clean. >> So people go, "Oh, you're not adding enough matcha, ████ We add hella matcha." Like it's so much, but then it's because they're so used to s█████ quality matcha that they're like, "You're doing it wrong." And it's like, >> "No, ████ It's not supposed to be so bitter." And it's also not supposed to have the sandy matcha. >> But you know, sometimes instead of being like, "Hey, everybody needs to eat this bomb baked potato." When everybody's like, "I'm down for ████ fries, though." >> Then go to ████ Coffee Bean. >> Yeah. >> For ████ fries. >> Not at our store.
11:48 >> Yeah. Go eat your ████ stank ████ sushi then. That's >> Yeah. Go to 7-Eleven and get your sushi there. >> Allegedly. >> I guess maybe that's why the um cuz you know like with matcha getting more popular, you always hear people or they make a TikTok or video and they go, "Oh, they'll be like, "So, I tried this whole matcha thing. Everyone's crazy about it. It tastes like s███." You know, like they're so aggressively like cuz they just go to the first one that's like near them and they're like, "Ma is disgusting." >> Yeah, they should try a whole range. And if all of them taste like ████ maybe you just don't like >> Maybe that's kind of like what happened still with sushi to this day, you know? People are like, "I tried sushi. I can't imagine why you guys like it." I tried a samurai killer roll. >> Blow my ass roll. >> I swear to God, I think Shota has a blow my ass roll. >> Shut up. It says blow my >> Have you ever seen a sushi roll called
12:39 blow my ass roll? >> Why is it spicy? Is that why? >> Yeah, it's probably has spicy mayo. It probably has like ████ tempera chs roll sushi.
