Every once in a while, Peter from Pu-Erh.SK will put together a very limited raw puerh tasting flight from his own collection. Always interesting, it is a good chance to taste a variety of cleanly stored raw puerh, vintage and new. Tea No 1 out of 10.

Continuing to drink down this slightly vintage (2023) green tea from Bitterleaf Teas. "Hulk" is a one bud, one leaf, early spring Simao Yunnan tea rolled in "snail" shape. Easy drinking.

Yunnan (Simao) First Flush green tea from Bitterleaf Tea. According to Bitterleaf, this is a classic green Yunnan tea, the sort you might want to thermos or Grandpa brew to get you through your day. Mild flavor, slight astringency, pleasant lingering scent.

After brewing so much Chinese tea in this Japanese Kyusu, figured I should give some Japanese tea a try. Savory and umami elements dominate this Aya-Me Kabuse shincha from Kettl Teas, some nuttiness and salinity. Nice color!

Malaysian stored "old liubao" from Teas We Like. Beautiful soup color. Leather, autumn forest floor, dried mushrooms. Zippy head based energy, pleasant tingling aftertaste.

Zhenghe Red from White2Tea is a Fujian tea. It is a black tea made from a varietal usually used for Fujian white tea, "Zhenghe Dabai". Darker herbaceous and fruit flavors, more raisins than stonefruit.

The final tea from the May, 2025 MyTeaPal Club is Yibin Eco Green Tea. It is another Sichuan early spring green tea, this one from Yinxing Village, Yibin, Sichuan. Fresh steamed sweet green vegetables and umami. Slight astringency and lingering sweetness.

Another tea from the MyTeaPal May 2025 club, Cloud Mist Green aka Guiding Yunwu Tribute Tea. The brewed tea is a pleasant pale green that hard to capture. Umami, light fresh vegetal character, touch of returning sweetness.

2023 Sichuan Gan Lu (probably not meng ding) from White2Tea. Umami, light flavor, returning sweetness. A very clean green tea.

A new bag of (slightly vintage) 2023 Cloud Mist Green tea from White2Tea. A regular member of their annual spring green mob, their Sichuan Cloud Mist Green is subtle, slightly herbal, with a touch of narcissus and lingering tingling energy.

2010 Xiaguan Nan Zhao is another random raw puerh sample from Liquid Proust. Xiaguan is a classic puerh factory, well known for their "iron cakes" and similarly densely packed tuo (mushroom top shaped cakes). 2010 Nan Zhao is not that densely packed. Smokey character, complex flavor, bitterness creeping at the edges. If you're a sensitive type, not a tea to drink on an empty stomach. The internal leaves in the cake are very small, shards. Keeping steeps short. Tea drunk by noon.

2015 Wanggong Baohongyinji raw puerh is another random Sheng sample via Liquid Proust, probably from a raw puerh sampler box. BaoHongYinJi is a Taiwan based boutique puerh producer and this is a very balanced young/middle aged puerh. Very loosely compressed, you can tease it apart without a pick. Beautiful leaves. Complex flavor, pleasant returning sweetness, long lingering aftertaste.

There are advantages to compulsively including additional bags of tea you enjoy in orders. For example while everyone else complained to White2Tea about them not making Daily Jinjunmei black tea last year, I could quietly drink down my 4 bags (and distribute some to friends)...

A single 7g sample of this "ANZAC" 2024 Huangpian blend from White2Tea. Probably included in another order. Softer flavor, some astringency in later steeps. Lingering tongue tingles and pleasant aftertaste. (Left out on the table, knocked off by cat, someone apparently thought it was some sort of chew toy. Didn't seem to affect the flavor.)

This 2005 Yang Qing Hao Yiwu Huang Pian is definitely on the forest floor and autumn leaf puddle side of tea flavor. It is a bit astringent/drying in the middle and later steeps. Nice aftertaste and great energy, tho. I must have gotten it in a sampler I ordered from Andrew at Liquid Proust.

2021 Spring Laos Green from One River Tea. This was a green tea when I got it, now the leaves have faded to brown. A bit like aged raw Liu Bao, farmer tea. Sweet, with a touch of smoke.

It's after easter, time to move on to green teas! Book Cover Green (2023) is a blend of "less picturesque leaves" from a Sichuan producer that White2Tea sources other single variety green teas from. Basically green tea Huang Pian.

Wenshan Baozhong is a very low oxidation oolong. This "Competition Grade" sample came from the (Taiwan based) Eco-Cha tea club in 2020 or 2021. It drinks like an extra floral green tea. Oddly, even though it is low oxidation and little to no roast, you sometimes see aged versions of Wenshan Baozhong.

2020 Taiji Black Label. Xizihao Daughter Tea calls this a "Banzhang killer", note it comes in "white" and "black" label (when they produce it). "White" is spring and "black" is autumn. In any case, making good progress through my Xizihao Daughter raw puerh samples, tried 'em all, only 4 doses left.

2022 "Elegance of the Century" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea. If you're going to call a tea "Elegance of the Century", it better be good. While I'm not always a huge fan of very young sheng, this is a very good young sheng from Xizihao Daughter.

Spring 2012 raw puerh from Qiaotoushan, (National Protected Forest,) 10 years in Xizihao Daughter's (I suspect) very dry Taiwan storage. Flavor-wise, it is a quiet tea; "soft power" is the phrase I often use for raw puerh with this sort of character.

Since I always say White2Tea's Arbor Red is black tea for puerh drinkers, I was curious to see how Arbor Red would react to brewing in Jiri Duchek Rye stoneware, instead of the usual ruyao gaiwan, would affect the tea. (I usually only brew young raw puerh in Duchek Rye stoneware.) My initial impression is it makes a huge difference, smoothing the rough edges of the tea. Maybe a little too much?
