Lindsay drank 2015 If You're Reading This It's 2 Late by white2tea

350 tasting notes

This was yesterday’s tea, and I suck at doing reviews from memory. I do remember it having a really nice balance of sweet, bitter, and fruity, with some definite apricot notes, and some complexity of flavour. It didn’t change too much as I went through the steepings, just got a bit lighter and more mineral near the end.

I wish there were a way to try all these 2015 W2T samples head-to-head without drowning myself in tea, lol. I don’t think my palate is really good enough to detect any subtleties yet. I’m also being spoiled by the fact that W2T only sells good puer, so I’m probably completely taking for granted the fact that all these young shengs are perfectly drinkable right away.

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
