Thar she blows! Aharr, me hearties, today I laid into the White Whale that Paul of White2tea sent me. I fear the whale has harpooned me and now I be mixing up me sailing books. Should it be Treasure Whale or White Whale Island? Perhaps it’s just the tea drunk talking.
The dry leaf has an aroma of wood and camphor. Wet, the leaf adds smoky and pine resin notes. The liquor is orange. I can feel the kick as I drink it. It is powerful with strong wood and camphor notes, an element of smoke and pine resin, and a chilli bite in the aftertaste then a fine cooling on the tongue. I’m enjoying this tea a lot and finding that the aftertaste lasts nicely, unlike the aftertaste that Moby Dick left in Captain Ahab’s mouth. Let us hope that it has the legs of all those sailors it has encountered, because I hope to enjoy it for the rest of the day.

This is indeed a dancing white whale and at a great price too. I have to say that I really like the wrapper that White2tea has come up with for it. Minimalist but pleasing just the same.
Thank you White2tea. This is now on my want list. That’s like a wish list but I am more likely to pester my wife until she gives in and buys me a brick or two.

This is definitely a fine little gem!
Oh help, the lad had none of this on him the other day at the tea tasting, and now Roughage’s wife gonna buy it all. I better get cracking!
Fair’s fair. You got to do the tea tasting with Paul. I got some samples. It balances out. :)
I doubt very much that my beloved will permit me to buy more tea right now, but it would not hurt you to get in ahead of her/me before we buy up the entire stock. ;)
The worst of it is that tea lad has a stash he might buy up soon leading to more good cakes and nothing in any of our wallets!
Tea will get you through times of no money better than money gets you through times of no tea. :)
Now that is the wisest sage advice I have ever read.
