2019 Gore of the Forest is promised to be a complex and pithy sheng blend. I didn’t hesitate to purchase a sample of this tea with my last White2tea order as I tend to enjoy this price bracket. Leaf and Steeping Method The dry leaf has a powdery fruity sweet scent, like peachy fruit leather. Nothing new, I used a gongfu ratio of 1 gram of leaf per 15ml of vessel size, steeped in quick boiling water infusions. After a rinse, the leaves smell like rice porridge.

Back in February 2019 White2tea club, it featured a new club exclusive shou puer – 2018 Charlie. Charlie is back for the January 2020 White2tea club! 2018 Charlie was one of my favorite shous for its earthy creamy quality.

Leaf and Steeping Method The cake has an earth and paper scent. My gongfu ratio was 1 gram of leaf per… Continue reading, hoot!

Leaf and Steeping Method The cake has a faint orange scent. When added to a warm gaiwan, the sweet orange chenpi orange scent comes off strongly. By the way, Dripd O’Bitters has quite a tight compression. I had… Continue reading, hoot!

Backtracking, today is the 2019 November White2tea club’s 2019 B_S_, a 50 gram high-end mini cake of 4 different regions with a mix of spring and fall. I love these 50 gram club months as they tend to be quality tea and with month, in particular, promising to be complex. Leaf and Steeping Method The leaves smell like crusted sweet tree syrup. As usual, I used 1 gram of leaf per 15ml of vessel size gongfu ratio, steeped in boiling… Continue reading, hoot!

The 2019 October White2Tea Club is a selection of shous that you can purchase – 2016 Trap Bird, 2019 Lumberslut, and 2019 Pretty Girls. I have been doing the White2tea club since the beginning as well as purchase quite a bit of his teas that I’ve actually have had all the teas this month but in previous years. 2016 Trapbird Shou Puer from White2Tea 2019 October Club came with a sample of 2016 Trap Bird, but I own this cake and already reviewed it in 2017. Instead, I drank it from my own stash to see how it is progressing.… Continue reading, hoot!
