drank 2016 Fade Huangpian Raw Pu'er by white2tea
9 tasting notes

Got this with my monthly White 2 box. Wonderful packaging, as always, for a delightful young sheng. The tea starts out with notes of hay and grass, and a decidedly pleasant sour flavor. The sourness starts out acetic and then moves toward citrus, and after a while, once the hay toned down into pleasant bitterness, I got hit in the face with Arnold Palmer. Quite delicious.

I did 7 steeps, 10s 20s 30s 40s 50s 60s 120s, and the tea could likely have gone on further. I’m a fan overall, but I’m curious to see how this sheng ages.

I just got my brick this morning. I’m going to let it rest for a bit, but your comments really made me want to try it asap. :-D

Bio

After several dark years in coffee land, I’m back to the world of tea. I’m still very much new to everything, but I’m trying anything I can get my paws on and enjoying all of it.

I’m a fan of pu-erh, oolong, and have a soft spot for intensely bergamot Earl Greys.
