  3. 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.

  5. 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)...

  7. 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?

  9. My wife is out of town, so I can enjoy this burly black tea from White2Tea on Saturday morning. 2018 Arbor Red is a bit smoky, a bit bitter, touch of returning sweetness; definitely a black tea for people who enjoy aggressive raw puerh.

  11. Xizihao Daughter mostly sells raw puerh, but they also sell ripened puerh and the odd Black tea batch. I don't know much about this 2022 "Wild Black" other than it is from "Unmanaged Gardens" somewhere in Vietnam. It has the fruity character I associate with Yunnan sun dried black tea and good durability/length of flavor. A good zippy morning cup.

  13. Jinjunmei black tea was initially created as a premium bud only tea from a limited geographic region in Fujian targeted at the luxury tea market. A lot of producers now make Jinjunmei-like teas sourced from other regions and with less exacting pick standards. White2Tea's "Daily Jinjunmei" is one of those (though it is from roughly the same region as "real" jinjunmei). Dark stonefruit, herbs, and brown sugar are my tasting notes for Daily Jinjunmei from White2Tea.

  17. Last of the 2022 version of Farmer Leaf's house made Jingmai (very) small batch black tea (#2). I think they mostly make black tea out of their Jingmai leaves to have it to drink themselves and sell the excess.

  19. "Yanhong Black" is an "everyday black" Fujian tea from White2Tea. I.e. reasonable price, available in larger bags, interesting enough to drink every day, but not over complex.

  25. Stomach a little off this morning, couldn't face serious Yunnan black tea. Went with a soothing bud heavy Fujian black tea instead, 2022 Silver Bud Red from White2Tea.

  27. Arbor Red (2018) is one of White2Tea's earlier experiments using raw puerh material and lighter oxidation to make a black tea. A burly complex smoky black tea for puerh drinkers. One of my favorites of their teas, they made it for a few years, 2018-2020. Tight compression means it is aging slowly and well preserved.

  29. Rare that White2Tea releases a loose leaf dian hong style Yunnan black tea, (especially a bud heavy furry version,) so jumped on the chance to order Honey Needle.

  35. One of my favorite teas to drink when I'm under the weather is this blend of sun dried Yunnan black tea and snow chrysanthemum flowers, called "Drunk on Red". Yunnan Sourcing made this tea for a few years from around 2013 to 2018, but as far as I've seen 2018 was the last year. (They also made a plain version and a version with osmanthus flowers.)

  38. This "2017 prize winning smoked hong cha" (aka Lapsang Souchong aka Zhengshan xiaozhong) is one of the first teas I ordered direct from China. Thankful to have embarked on this tea journey.

  40. Ho Yum Blind Tasting Club Tea Number 1 was a spring 2024 "yesheng baicha", or white tea from uncultivated trees, on Big Snow Mountain in Yongde, Lincang. You've probably noticed the theme of Ho Yummy BTC-08, all the teas were sourced during their trip to Lincang in Yunnan.
