drank 2015 Channel Orange by White 2 Tea
737 tasting notes

Saturdays, ugh. I needed my ‘1990s pilled polyester bald-headed eagle blanket’ today. My first ever western steeping of this shou puerh and chenpi combo was the comfort I desired but it doesn’t offer the kick needed to prepare for the crappiest work day of the week, Saturday. At least it’s my Friday.

This tea is fantastic steeped western and grandpa. Both methods offer the full flavor and thickness that gongfu steeping can’t attain due to the high compaction of the material. Simply a solid drinking shou with no off flavors even when I manage to let time slip by.

Flavors: Cedar, Dark Wood, Earth, Mineral, Orange Zest, Pine, Smooth, Spicy, Thick, Yeast

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 10 OZ / 295 ML

Sounds so good right now, derk. I really loved the sample you sent me of it awhile ago, and I’ve been planning to get a brick of it next time I make a White2Tea order.

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
