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.
-
Brown tea in a black pot, 2020 Brown Sugar "small batch" shou puerh from white2tea. Brown Sugar is one of W2T's older ongoing blends. Unlike most W2T blends, the name is fairly reflective of the tea character, flavors are those of dark cane and molasses. This was the first year with the "small batch" label.

Actual Shou Puerh, 2021 Hokum from White2Tea, on this rainy day.

Dark days ahead, White2Tea 2021 Lil Boo shou puerh entirely appropriate.

The Shou/Ripened/Cooked Puerh process was originally created as an attempt to imitate the effect of long aging on Raw Puerh tea cakes. While, instead, they mostly created the new class of Puerh, Ripe.
With Riparian White2Tea has returned to those roots of attempting to imitate the character of long aged Puerh with an experimental blend of semi-aged raw puerh and lighter ferment ripe puerh. Still very freshly pressed, it's already almost convincing in the early steeps. Color is also perfect. Later steeps are a bit thin, but It will be interesting to see what shape Riparian settles into in a year or two.

Overcast day, onsite work; Lil Boo shou puerh from White2Tea in the pot and thermos. Nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done, just like me.
-
Prosbloom is one of my favorite White2Tea skull themed labels. The tea itself is high quality, reasonable price, fresh shou puerh tea. 2021, just getting better with age.

Much less fancy, but much cuter, shou puerh in the pot & thermos today, 2021 Lil Boo from White2Tea.

2017 Mangjing Ripe from Farmer Leaf. A tea producer friend of farmer leaf reserved a small portion of their raw puerh maocha over several years. It was stored in fairly wet conditions in the producer's Yunnan warehouse. In 2017, they processed that accumulated maocha into a small batch of ripe puerh. It was pressed into cakes in 2019 and Farmer Leaf managed to score a few cakes in 2023.
Farmer Leaf describes the storage as wet, but the tea has no real mold/mildew notes in the flavor. I like the flavor, on the darker side, and the energy is strong, clean, and pleasant. After trying a sample, I ordered a cake.

Server room day onsite, so you know the drill. Hokum Shou mini from the stash in my pot and thermos.

The third tea from Peter's visit to a Taiwan tea shop is a Dayi Shou Puerh of indeterminate age. Raw Puerh is often not really prized until it has decades of age on it. Ripe Puerh was originally created to mimic the effect of decades of age, by fast aging Puerh material in warm, wet piles. Dayi is a very well known factory Puerh producer. It may not be well known, but a little age on Shou Puerh, and it loses the characteristics that many find distasteful in young ripe puerh.

We're all-in on White2Tea's Tale Chaser charcoal roasted ripe puerh.

Tale Chaser Charcoal Roasted Shou Puerh from White2Tea remains a Friday favorite with the tea pet crowd.

Getting down to the dense heart of the Shroom, be careful with that tea knife, Eugene. 2015 Red Shroom ripe Puerh from "White Two Tea".

2023 Predawn Dark charcoal roasted Shou Puerh mini from White2Tea. This was club selection from last spring, which, for better or for worse, has been sitting in close proximity to a Lapsun Pine Sap smoked mini. So it is a bit smokier than it should be. Always keep any pine sap smoked tea separate.

A few years back White2Tea made their Pretty Girls shou puerh available as 12g biscuit cakes. So, you can either break it in half and brew a small batch or get out a larger pot and drink all day.
Guess which I chose?
