Grandpa Style!
Curiosity and a bit of gentle peer pressure won out today, and I’ve decided to start sipping my way through the white2tea order that recently arrived. I’m starting with a 2024 Shixi ripe pu’erh mini, which I’ve been drinking grandpa-style throughout the afternoon. It’s a rather thick and oily brew with a smooth, brothy sort of profile. Though not overly complex, the overall cup is loamy with supporting notes of bouillon, golden raisins, and sea salt. It’s definitely more on the savory side, but in a comforting way that’s akin to slurping away at a large mug of bone broth or chicken noodle soup on a cold and blustery afternoon. Though I’m not getting that first tasting kismet from this shou, I think it’s a solid offering that would work well as a daily drinker. I do think that makes sense given its price point. It will be interesting to see how this one settles and ages over time.
