2018 Carbolic Soap Oolong from White2Tea

  By ,

Today’s review is White2Tea’s 2018 Carbolic Soap Oolong. This is a 200 gram cake of high-quality Milan Dancong from Guangdong province, China. A full cake is $208 and a 25 gram sample for $30. I kept forgetting I had a sample of this, its existence, then where I put my sample. I got reminded about the dancong as I recently made boxed Angel Food cake and discovered it has detergent in it to make it fluff (well I said soap first and got corrected). I might as well follow up some detergent cake with soap tea. Leaf and Steeping Method… Continue reading, hoot!

January 2019 White2Tea Club feat. Iron Arhat, Baisuixiang, Stone Milk, Dahongpao, Spice Flower, OBSX, and No.2 Rougui

  By ,

The January 2019 White2Tea club is 7 samples of their new oolongs – Iron Arhat, Baisuixiang, Stone Milk, Dahongpao, Spice Flower, OBSX, and No.2 Rougui. Last White2tea clubs like this I drank them all side by side, but I felt I lost more intricacies of each tea. That said, I’m drinking these teas one by one. I attempted to drink all the yanchas in one day but got five out of seven finished on day one, then I drank the final two expensive a few days after. For all these teas, I filled the gaiwan with leaf and gongfu steeped… Continue reading, hoot!

December 2018 White2Tea Club feat. 2018 XXXmas Sheng Puer

  By ,

Today’s review of an exclusive tea to the White2tea club. The December 2018’s club is a 200 gram 2018 XXXmas sheng puer, a huangpian material cake. Around Christmas, I revisited last year’s White2Tea club 2017 XXXmas cake. Last year, it was very young and I felt it was too green. With a year under its belt, it is still very green and bitter, so I’m giving it another year. However, 2018’s XXXmas sheng is a different blend. My cake sat for about a month and a half before tasting. Love the wrapper art, as usual. Leaf and Steeping Method And those… Continue reading, hoot!

2018 Censers White Tea from White2Tea

  By ,

2018 seemed the year I went open wallet and ask questions later on white teas. I bought White2Tea’s 2018 Censers white cake blind. Censers is a pressed Guizhou Province Bai Mu Dan (aka White Peony). Most of the white teas we find are from Fujian Province and sometimes Yunnan. That said, we are in for something a little different. There was a mess up with my order and I got a sample of censers before I got the cake. I am unwrapping to show off the cake but will be drinking off the sample to finish it off. Leaf and… Continue reading, hoot!

November 2018 White2Tea Club feat. Dark Roast Tieguanyin

  By ,

For the November 2018 White2tea club, everyone got 50 grams of the new Dark Roast Tieguanyin and three 7-8gram Mengku orbs. The Dark Roast Tieguanyin is available for purchase on the site…. or not, it’s sold out already, maybe it’ll come back? This month certainly felt poor value. 50 grams of the Dark Roast is $14.50, and the club is $30 a month. My guess is those Mengku orbs are good stuff to make up for it. That and really, if you want value, you aren’t in any monthly tea clubs, especially since small packet shipping prices are rising. I… Continue reading, hoot!

Rehoot Review – 2015 Pin Sheng Puer from White2Tea

  By , ,

I drank Pin way back in 2015 when it was freshly pressed White2Tea club tea. Back then it tasted quite watery. I’ve heard it got good in the time it has rested. 2015 Pin Sheng Puer has been highly requested that I ReHoot review. I keep meaning to do more re-reviews of puer and aged teas, but I keep getting so much new stuff in it’s a little tricky to schedule around. As a reminder, 2015 Pin Sheng is Lincangy blend of 2013, 2014, and 2015 material. Leaf and Steeping Method For today’s review, I used 1 gram of leaf per… Continue reading, hoot!

October 2018 White2tea club feat. fresh 2018 Autumn F_D_T Sheng Puer

  By ,

I am guilty of being so backlogged that I wasn’t able to tackle the October 2018 White2Tea Club ASAP. This month is a 50 gram 2018 Autumn material Old Arbor sheng puer. What makes this tea special, other than being Old Arbor 50 gram cakes that are usually amazing, is it got to club members ultra fast which means is it super fresh. It was picked, processed, but immediately pressed skipping a drying step of the Maocha loose leaf. The joke of the tea community is this tea cake is moist. As in, should have been named 2018 MOIST, which… Continue reading, hoot!

2018 Chirping Bird Sheng Puer from White2tea

  By ,

Of all the White2Tea 2018 spring puer teas, 2018 Chirping Bird and Lucky Puppy caught my eye the most. I am ultra slow this year reviewing these new puer teas as I waited to have a bit longer time in China storage on young tea, then I waited for a sale. My tastes are expensive this year, so giving teas the best chance will make my buying choices easier. Unlike previous years, I could not sample the entire line or all of the expensive line. I would not have any money to buy a full cake if I did. 2018… Continue reading, hoot!

September 2018 White2Tea Club feat. Fuding vs Yunnan White tea

  By ,

The 2018 September White2tea Club is two white teas. Not just any white teas, we got a white tea region comparison education session. I annoyingly switched my tea order for my tasting compared to the handout. The first tea is a 2018 Baimudan (aka White Peony) from Fuding. This is a classic white tea, Baimudan being an early picking with both leaves and buds. The second tea is Zhanglang Yunnan White, which is puer material processed as white tea, from the puer region of Menghai. Puer material processed as white tea are becoming more easier to find these days. Leaf… Continue reading, hoot!

2018 Arbor White and Arbor Red Tea from White2Tea

  By ,

Happy American Thanksgiving! Forget the turkey, let’s gushu. Today is a comparison review of White2Tea’s 2018 Arbor White and Arbor Red Tea. Yes, red and white rolls off the tongue better than white and red, but I am drinking these from light to dark! Though I got the cake of Arbor White as I knew that is a safe blind purchase for me, I only bought a sample of Arbor Red for review purposes. I do like black tea, but not enough to want to shell out the cost of a full cake blind. Both teas are the same Old… Continue reading, hoot!
