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.

2018 Dragon Cake from Xizihao Daughter Tea. Making good progress tasting through these Xizihao Daughter Tea raw puerh samples. (Luckily, I'm not sure I need to buy new tea, I can mostly just taste samples and clubs for quite a while!)

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.

2021 To Be Addicted raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea. "...from unmanaged ancient tea gardens near Laowushan and Heshangsi (monk temple), which are about 2400 m above sea level. It is 100 % spring 2021 gushu material. The tea has a rock sugar-like taste, similar to Bingdao teas and a unique orchid note of Xigui teas." At this point, it doesn't grab me as something I love, but I am not over fond of very young raw puerh, no matter the quality.

2010 Golden Leaf Huang from Xizihao Daughter Tea. Huang (pian) is made from tea leaves that are sorted out during the production process, usually because they are too developed, too large, or for other aesthetic reasons.
Some vendors will posit Huang Pian as a good way to try teas from regions whose teas are expensive.
On the other hand, Huang Pian leaves tend to have different flavor characteristics from the leaves that are chosen to be used for actual raw puerh. They also are distinct in how they can be brewed and how they age.

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.

In 2019 and 2020, Xizihao Daughter released white and black wrapper "Taiji" raw puerh teas from "Unmanaged Gardens" in Banzhang Laozhai meant to evoke their famous 2006 Laobanzhang Taiji releases. The 2020 black wrapper version I am trying today is a very nice young puerh but currently at a quiet phase in its flavor evolution. Beautiful after taste and wonderful energy.

"Dragon Cake" (2018) is another younger raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter. Not as muscular as Drunk, nor as floral-complex as Spreading Joy. A nice middle between the two. (The piece I got in the sample is ridiculously dense, includes a bit of the notch on the back of the cake.)

Taiwan based Xizihao Daughter has even more opaque tea names and descriptions than White2Tea. For a long time they didn't even have a website. To be honest, I am not really sure how to differentiate their teas beyond price. They do have very nice tea wrappers. I can tell you I enjoy their 2018 Spreading Joy raw puerh more than their 2021 Drunk raw puerh.

Like I need another tea company with obscure naming and opaque sourcing, but here I am drinking a sample of 2016 "Oddly Confused" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea. A clean feeling raw Puerh with soft flavors, mild astringency, little bitterness, and good energy. My general thought is, it's good now, but it would be better after 5-10 more years in their Taiwan storage.

2017 "Laowushan" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter is surprisingly mellow for its relatively young age. And despite its mellow flavor, leaves a lengthy impression in the empty cup and in my mind. Calming, body centered energy completes the picture.

Trying another puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea, 2017 Ginseng Brick Ripened Puerh. Warming, easy drinking ripe puerh with a pleasant huigan (lingering sweet bitterness) and surprisingly zippy head based energy.

Xizihao Daughter "Oddly Confused" 2016 Raw Puerh Tea. Xizihao Daughter is a Taiwan based tea supplier who (mostly) specializes in puerh. Artistic labels, unusual names, mysterious origins, fairly expensive teas, quasi luxury trappings. (Sound familiar?) I picked up a sampler of some of their young-middle aged puerh. "Oddly Confused" is good now and I can kind of see where it is going. I bet it will be really good in a few years once it completely settles in to it's flavors, but it isn't there yet.

2016 Dragon Ball Black Tea from Xizihao Daughter Tea. A bud heavy Yunnan style black tea that drinks (and brews) more like a raw puerh with some wet storage character. I leave it as an exercise for yourself to work out whether that is appealing (but I like it).
