Final experiment in cross cultural blending: 5g White2Tea Tale Chaser (roasted ripe puerh) and 2g Yunomi Naturalitea Superior Hojicha. Weird, I like the blends that are unevenly divided between the teas more than evenly divided blend.

Same deal, but out of curiosity increased it to a 50-50 blend of White2Tea Tale Chaser (charcoal roasted ripe puerh) and Hojicha (Yunomi NaturaliTea Superior). The nice part is I like the longer steeps more than when just brewing the Hojicha.

After a couple weeks of following the recommendations for brewing Hojicha, I decided to break the rules. This is a blend of 4g Hojicha (Japanese roasted green tea) and 2g of W2T Tale Chaser (Charcoal Roasted Ripe Puerh). Delicious.

I really enjoy Tale Chaser, a charcoal roasted ripe puerh from White2Tea, but my wife is not a fan. "Tastes like seaweed," she says, (she says that about all ripe puerh). I can detect no wet pile or off taste and don't exactly find seaweed unappealing. Different strokes...

It's only taken me 5 years to drink through this pound of shou puerh minis. Why am I still buying more tea?

W2T says this Brown Sugar ripe puerh biscuit was from a "long ago club shipment". Is 2019 tea shipped in 2020 really "long ago"? It is well settled into its character.

White2Tea's 2024 Jamrock Steady is, "Another one of these white2tea years in the making experiments. Aged raw Puer maocha from the mid 2010's pressed alongside light ferment small batch shou Puer than is 2-4 years old in a blend meant to mimic tea with decades of age." Easy drinking, calming energy; Jamrock Steady is an interesting experiment in puerh blending.

First real winter rainstorm of the season is a good day to get out a Shou Puerh mini from the 2021 W2T Trick or Treat Bag. Lesser Evils small batch Shou was one of my faves from the assortment.

Heading into the office, 2019 White2Tea lumber slut ripe puerh mini, aka little slut, in the pot and thermos. "Is this mushroom tea again?" Said Mrs Flannestad.

Mystery Shou Puerh from White2Tea Club. Small leaves, slight fresh pile taste, it has a bit of mineral rock taste, dried mushrooms, seaweed.
