The return of last springs sold out black tea cake commission, now the second time this tea was ever made by the farmer. Another lovely white2tea experiment gone right.
Sunskate was oxidized very lightly, so much so that we could probably refer to it as a strange oolong instead of a black tea. The goal was to leave room for further aging and oxidation in the coming years, but it’s a beautiful tea fresh as well. Made from material usually destined for raw Puer production, Sunskate has a syrupy thick body with bright aromas uncommon in a black tea.
Pressed in 2022. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
Occasionally I want the elevated Lipton experience which this offers pretty well. This is the kind of tea I’d drink iced laying out in the sun beside the pool, or after pulling weeds in the garden all day. Naturally bright and sweet. The description on W2T says it’s somewhere between an Oolong and a Hong, but I put it squarely in honcha territory. Solid ‘tea aroma’, but there’s not really any frills here—not a lot of fruit, flower, leather, or any particularly interesting characteristics. Good body and makes a great iced tea, but a gongfu sessionable tea it is not, at least to me.
