Fostering community around a rural Chinese folk house in West Virginia [Jesse's Tea Journey] 

Hello tea friends! There's something different about this vlog... The house might look like it's from Yunnan (well technically it is from Yunnan), but it's China Folk House in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
Dr. John Flower gives us a tour of the ‪@chinafolkhousechannel4710‬ while sharing the history of the house, its ethnic history, and the communities that came together to rebuild it. We also have some noodles!!
