Just got my first White2Tea order in the mail today! It’s also my first step into puerh. I got some 2016 Hot Brandy, 2015 Brown Sugar, a tuo of 2006 Golden Melon, a sample of 2 Late and a free sample of 2015 Smooch. I really appreciate the free sample, and so far I’m digging the Brown Sugar. Thinking of joining the tea club when I can.

Weasser said

I got a free sample of Smooch last week in an order from White2tea also. I then bought 50 more of them. It’s an excellent raw dragon ball.

Nepenthe said

Sadly the free shipping deal was over long before I could even try the Smooch! I plan on tacking a few more of those along with my next order from them, along with those new shou dragon balls.

Give it a shot, and get a few more even if you think it’s not for you. I’m fairly new to raw young puer too and it does take a few times having it to get the idea of what you’re drinking. It’s a totally different kind of tea. Other companies have dragon balls like it. Crimson Lotus and Yunnan Sourcing, the other of the two companies I tend to get puer from certainly do. They arent the same, but they still have that taste that can take a few times of having before you realize it tastes really good. They’re nice ways of learning about young sheng without spending a fortune on full cakes.

Today I received an order from Taiwan Sourcing, black tea and a lot of oolong, mostly winter teas.

Not tea related, but this week the UPS man delivered (part) of my new baby; a custom Warmoth guitar body for a build that I’ve been working on for a long time. Since I got it I’ve been working on the wiring and installing the hardware. Finished up and played it for the first time today.

Yesterday I got three pieces of teamail, an order from Simpson and Vail, my White2Tea subscription box, and the last third of an EBay order.

Today I got some teamail.A package from Dragon Tea House that was battered and soaked. Don’t know where it got wet. Luckily the people at DTH had wrapped the tea inside so well it wasn’t wet.

Big haul and glad it was packed well.

AllanK said

Yes this one could have been a disaster. The package was wrapped in plastic but still soaked underneath.

Over the last couple of days I got three nice orders. A large order from Yunnan Sourcing, an order of ripe tea and teaware from Puerh.sk, and an order from White2Tea. I also got a swap package from MrMopar.

Hi Allan,
Have you tried the 7552 and 7592 from YS before? I am thinking about both and saw you got these in your order.

AllanK said

No not yet. In the next couple of weeks I will probably get to them. Unfortunately my job keeps me from drinking gongfu tea on a daily basis. And I can’t drink at night because of insoomnia.

I got an order from White2Tea today that I wasnt expecting. When tracking it, it says it’s still in China. I was hoping it was the order I placed with Yunnan Sourcing more than two months ago when I saw it, but it wasnt. Happy to get this one though.
2 – 200 gram cakes of 2017 Old Reliable
50 – Grandpa’s ripe dragon balls
and 200 grams of 2006 Little Gold Melon Shu
A 15 gram sample of Hot Brandy was in there too. I already have three cakes so now I can let them continue to age the next two times I want it.

Man I hope that’s what’s going on with mine. It’s been saying origin post is preparing to dispatch this piece since the 12th. I ordered when there was the free shipping with w2t, so I’m not sure if it was just sent with a slower method than normal

Weasser said

I don’t think it’s a slower method JX. I made two orders during that time, and the second one, made days after the first, came long before the first one did. Things seem to get hung up in China. That one from YS is still in China after more than two months. It’ll show up eventually.
