“Gongfu! Maybe at some point I’ll do a side by side tasting of two, but the more I drink this pu’erh the stronger I feel I’m enjoying it more than Smokeshou, W2T’s previous smoked ripe from 2021....” Read full tasting note
A blend of our white2tea Yunnan small batch shou Puer, sent to a smokehouse in Tongmuguan village in Fujian to be pine smoked by a veteran Lapsang smoker. The three day smoking process occurs at temperatures from 100C to 120C in an old style Lapsang smokehouse.
Excellent daily smoked tea with a velvet smooth shou body. The smokey aromas are still fierce, but Stubb is remarkably soft in the cup. Like a sweet forest fire in your teapot.
Each purchase is for one 7 gram mini.
Gongfu!
Maybe at some point I’ll do a side by side tasting of two, but the more I drink this pu’erh the stronger I feel I’m enjoying it more than Smokeshou, W2T’s previous smoked ripe from 2021. This one is just ao consistent, and not just in its smokiness. It’s actually almost equal parts sweet molasses type notes and very savory broth. Almost like smoked meats or, perhaps more accurately, a really rich smoked BBQ sauce. Hickory wood, ever so slightly tangy fruit notes, dense brown sugar or molasses, and so much umami. It’s VERY good.
The liquor is also incredibly thick, and I think that oily viscous quality only adds to the barbeque vibes. I feel like I should be in the backyard with a white paper plate in hand watching someone’s dad go on and on about their new grilling technique. They’re probably wearing a “Kiss the Cook” or “The Grillfather” apron, with a twelve back of Bud Light no more than three feet away from them at any given moment.
It’s perfect.
