From CameronB! Thank you again! A lone tiny mini waffle. This MIGHT be my first mini anything from white2tea? I’m excited to try it. This tiny waffle fits perfectly in the bottom of my infuser basket. I don’t know if that will help it infuse… Honestly, the amount of leaf here is probably less than I would use in a mug for a ripe puerh. The flavor is fine — a bit starchy, nothing negative about it. I would expect magical waffle flavor, even if in the back of my mind I know that is a stretch… but it seems like plain puerh to me. The second steep possibly did have more waffle qualities… more bready. The third weakened a bit. But the fourth is rich and coffee like… just the way I like it! The tiny waffles might lead to more expectation than otherwise, but the flavor here was decent enough if you want a cup of ripe puerh. I would say white2tea’s description is accurate anyway!

2023 sipdowns: 101
I’m in a rush to find some low-hanging-fruit-last-session-sipdowns for the last few days of the year, to up my sipdown number….
Distinct sweetness on the nose. Molasses, maybe. Marine and somewhat surprising mineral elements on the lid of my pot. No storage, funk, wood, dirt, or camphor. I wouldn’t go so far as to call this traditionally mossy or forest floory, but there is something reminiscent of dried Spanish moss, the stringy-puffy stuff that’s used by florists. The body appears thickish on the pour, but ends up feeling rather thin. Not apparently sweet in the mouth — more a suggestion in the smell. Easy, unchallenging, a little boring. Nice enough feels and spread in the body.
Flavors: Marine, Mineral, Molasses, Moss, Thin
Hehe me too! Suddenly looking at samples and nearly-empties.
