Tea reviews for tea drinkers
Today I am going to do something I don’t usually do – write a review for a tea you can’t buy! In case missed it, White2Tea dropped their first batch of 2021 puerhs last week, and in the list of new teas I was surprised to see a 200 gram cake of The Thing Is….
For the last few years the, White2Teas has sent out a “Hype” cake for their June tea club. Provided this year follows the same trend, you’ve got a few weeks to sign up if you want to take advantage of this, so I wanted to try out 2020 Green Hype to see how it’s sitting….
I picked up samples from White2Tea right when the fresh cakes dropped this year, but despite being one of the first to get their cakes to the market, for some reason White2Tea’s puerhs have taken the most time to settle into themselves. I’ve been checking in on my samples every now and again and keep…
Snoozefest is a limited run sheng puer from White2Tea that has been put out as a Black Friday special the last couple years. I did a review on this cake back in April, and said I would do another update before Black Friday to see if I think it would be worth jumping on again…
With my last tea review being of an autumn Naka, it seemed appropriate to keep going with that theme and jump over to White2Tea‘s 2019 Dangerfield. TwoDog (of White2Tea) says he blended this tea to be a “poor man’s Naka.” Truth be told, I don’t know what the defining characteristics of a Naka puerh are…
Today’s review is of a tea that I’m extremely excited about – White2Tea’s Very Old Huangpian. I was interested in this tea since first seeing it up on the shop and frequently hemmed and hawed about grabbing some, but I never got around to actually ordering. Recently, an online tea friend sent me a care…
Recently I tried White2Tea’s 2016 teadontlie and while I liked the general flavour profile of it, it was a bit too soft for my taste. I reached out to White2Tea’s TwoDog on Instagram to see what he would recommend as a similar but bolder tea, and he suggested that I give 2019 Duh a try….
If you are reading around online for White2Tea recommendations, chances are teadontlie comes up. I frequently see it recommended on Reddit, from bloggers and among friends as one of the go-to teas from W2T in lower mid price bracket. Like all their offerings, White2Tea doesn’t give a tonne of info on this cake. It’s a…
White2Tea’s 2015 Pin is a puerh that I have been interested in for a while. Right when I was getting into puerh, White2Tea had a sale on so I was asking on Reddit what was recommended and a tonne of people all said “Pin.” At the time, $70 was more than I wanted to drop…
White2Tea’s Snoozefest is a limited run raw puerh that they have produced for their last couple of Black Friday sales. Only 100 cakes are pressed and they say that they would normally sell a cake of this quality for around $40, but as a Black Friday deal it goes for $15. No samples of this…
