The LEGO Ninjago Movie is definitely creating a lot of excitement. The upcoming sets are already listed at the Online LEGO Shop (and are even available at some retailers ahead of the official August 1st release date), and both the first and the second movie trailer indicate that the film is going to be excellent. However that’s not all the Ninjago fun to be had. Recently LEGO also released a series of short episodes related to the LEGO Ninjago TV show, titled LEGO Ninjago: Wu’s Teas. 🙂
LEGO Ninjago: Wu’s Teas is a collection of twenty short episodes (approximately 1 minute 30 seconds each) that take place after the one-hour special from 2016 titled LEGO Ninjago: Day of the Departed, and before LEGO Ninjago Season 7: Hands of Time. The stories focus on Wu’s teashop called Steeper Wisdom, which is doing really well, until a new rival coffee shop opens across the street, drawing away the teashop’s customers. You can watch the entire series below. Expect lots of witty Ninjago humor!
➡ LEGO Ninjago Wu’s Teas Episode 1 – Secret Teas: The Ninjas are messing around in Master Wu’s new tea shop Steeper Wisdom and when they discover Wu’s secret stash of magical teas, Explosivi-tea, Hilari-tea and Anti-gravi-tea, they decide to test them out.
➡ LEGO Ninjago Wu’s Teas Episode 2 – Spinny Sign: A rival coffee shop has opened across the street, humming with business, and has great advertising, namely an incredibly talented sign-spinning robot. So Kai, with a little sip of VelociTea to give him a boost, decides to take the robot on with some sign-spinning of his own.
➡ LEGO Ninjago Wu’s Teas Episode 3 – Music Night Part 1: Music Night in Steeper Wisdom is turning into a disaster due to Dareth’s “screechy” clarinet performance so after a sip of Musicali-tea, the Ninja pull their band equipment up on the stage and “rock the joint.”
➡ LEGO Ninjago Wu’s Teas Episode 4 – Music Night Part 2: The Ninja are rocking the stage but when Wu realizes the Ninja drank Musicali-tea, he freaks out – because the Musicali-tea is still untested and the Ninja’s jam will soon hit the “Nuclear Note”.
➡ LEGO Ninjago Wu’s Teas Episode 5 – Names: The rival coffee shop is stealing all Steeper Wisdom’s customers and the Ninja get creative in their campaign to win them back. Everybody knows that coffee shops never get their customers’ names right. Well, the Ninja will get them right. And if not…

I found a lot of them pretty silly, but then, Ronin made up for that in The Taste Test. 😀 That one was hilarious. 😉
Yeah, lots of silliness, but also entertaining. I liked the one with Wu and his missing white tea. 😀
I got NINJAGO fever and the only cure are the new NINJAGO movie sets. LOL! First: Destinys bounty, second: Ultimate ultimate weapon. I’ve been saving.
I know the feeling! I’m planning to build Kai’s mech this weekend! 😀
These are fun!!! Ninja GOOO!!! Can’t wait for the new episodes and the movie!
And then the movie mostly destroyed both design and personalities of our beloved heroes.
I consider the movie a stand-alone project that is only inspired by the TV series and not part of it. Otherwise, I would get too worked up about the differences, and that’s just not worth it. 🙄
Saw Wu’s Teas then looked online everywhere and there doesn’t seem to be a set for sale. PLEASE make this tea-house/shop into a real Lego set right away !
I need Steeper Wisdom in my life!
