Roasted Tie Guan Yin from White2Tea club. My wife's favourite type of tea and today I decided to have a one day break from pu'er.

2018 Yunnan Sourcing "Xiang Chun Lin" Yi Wu Old Arbor sheng tea. Finishing off the sample of this excellent tea.

7) Makes me alert but not excited like when I drink coffee.

Today I am sipping Farmerleaf's 2018 Ao Ne Me ancient trees sheng sample. Another very drinkable and tasty tea from that house's 2018 production.

Today I am sipping from Tea Encounter's second sample I bought: 2018 Ge Deng. An excellent young sheng which I am enjoying very much.

That one looks really interesting, Rui. I have a bunch of Cang Er tuos in storage but haven't tried your golden version. Got some 2015 Jingmai Shengtai (bannacha) left in the kyusu. When I got it fresh it had a lovely touch of a vintage first flush Darjeeling, a wee bit on the red side but that's g...

It is aromatic, smooth and slightly sweet. Yesterday and today has been a pleasure sipping this young tea which is already of a dee...

2016 Cream shou from White2Tea

As the weather is getting cooler it is time to move to darker teas. This is really a very yummy and creamy shou.

2003 Changtai "Yi Chang Hao" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake of Yi Wu from Yunnan Sourcing. Another sweet mild tea which has pleased me in the past and it is getting better all the time. It is now sold out in Yunnan Sourcing.

2014 Yunnan Sourcing autumn Lao Shu Bai Cha old arbor sheng tea. Smooth, slightly sweet and with no astringency or bitterness to speak of. A great tea to start the week calmly. Sounds like a much gentler version of the 2015 spring cakes; the latter pack a decent bit of bitterness and astringency, a...
