2007 8582 from XiZiHao.
Interesting tea. Nice fragrance, slight floral with a bit of raw mushroom.
Taste is clean, with a bit of astringency. Light on the palette.
Good if not a bit boring or lacking complexity.

2017 Chen Yuan Hao ripe (via Liquid Proust)
You can tell this expertly done.
The fermentation is done with a deft touch.
It’s clean and light even on the first couple steeps.
Rounded soft earthy flavors with a touch of coffee.
Very nice.

2003 Menghai 7542.
So good. Like if a high quality shou and sheng had a baby and you added a touch of campfire. A little menthol on the finish and just a whisper of astringency.
Got to get more!

Feng Qing "Silver Needles White Tea" Dragon Ball from YS. A wonderful white tea.
Sweet, light with a great mouth feel.
The Leaf quality is beautiful.

Question.... I just got a my first large order of Puer. I have Rubbermaid boxes that are humidified. Should I let the tea sit for a while at room temp/humidity before putting them in the humid Rubbermaid environment (67%) or can I just put them in now. Not planning to crack into them for at least a...

Duck Shit Oolong From Mei Leaf.
Kinda “meh” for me. Maybe I’ve been drinking too much ripe ! lol

Working my way through this stack of Flap Jacks (Ripe)
I think are a great deal!
Wonder what a little rest would do?

Superior Keemun by Mei Leaf.
Easy drinking, well rounded black tea.
Maybe a little boring after a few steeps but nice when you don’t feel like being challenged.

Finishing up a sample of If You’re Reading This It’s 2 Late from 2015. Raw. I would say this is a really good quality raw. Still very young. Lots of straw and grass notes with a lingering peachy sweetness. A bit drying in the mouth but very little astringency or bitterness. My sample was a little br...

Drinking the last of my white2tea Sunday special sample. Still really liking it.
Gonna have to put it on the buy list.

I’m reading through this:

White2Tea Milk, Cream and Alcohol.
Interesting.
Smokey, peaty, creamy, tabacco...back end astringency.
Sensitive to temp and steep time.
I like it for the price but wouldn’t grab it everyday.
Curious what some age would do to this and will let my 2 bings sit for a while.

Just received an order from white2tea a few hours ago so I decided to break into my sample of Sunday Special. Incredibly smooth. Some pile taste but I don't usually mind that at all and this is no exception. This is what I expected my sample of Menghai Golden Needle White Lotus to taste like which ...

Mei Leaf After Party Enchanter.
Complex, dark, earthy, sweet, long finish.
Great mouth feel.
Pretty expensive but still a good tea.
