Made from 2020 early spring Menghai area material that is not quite old arbor. This material is usually made into raw Puer, but this spring we commissioned productions of both sun dried white and sun dried black tea. The 2020 Mall Ninja Dojo and 2020 Horse Girl Clique are two teas made from identical material, but processed in two different ways.
The 2020 Mall Ninja Dojo is bright and aromatic with heavy full bodied character and even some residual astringency that signifies the character of the strength Menghai material. Floral and honey-like in its flavors and aromas, it’s quite a unique white tea experience.

Gongfu!
I am definitely guilty of overloading this gaiwan, but this tea still came out delicious despite that – albeit quite strong. A bit of a floral leaning creamed honey note is the through-line of the session but this is mixed with notes of crunchy and astringent autumnal leaves, brown sugar, hot hay, and a hint of overripe red fruits. Generally, as the weather gets cooler, I tend to favor roasted or darker teas – shou or yancha, as an example. However this session was a nice reminder that white teas can be autumnal too, in their own way!!Photos: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVa5UKori5e/
