Very much of what Lindsay said a couple of months ago.

Today it was time for me to try one of the teas of the four cake set of raw pu’er White2Tea Basics. This is the 2015 Spring with a mushroom aroma and beautiful sap green coloured leaves and burnt sienna twigs. The tea is of light to medium thickness of a yellow ochre colour with the liquor slightly astringent and bitter apricot flavour due to its young age. Back to humidor storage it goes to mature further.

2.2gms 90 degrees C 55ml pot

Preparation

we call the humidor the “pumidor”. :D

That makes sense, pumidor = humidor for pu(er). I must get used to it.

What do you think of the basics set? I wasn’t quite sure it was worth it, but i’ve gone for the new Terrior W2T set… on a slow boat from China presently.

Rasseru

Haha me too, amnestea. Waiting for the post

I just received the terroir set. After the tasting of the first cake of th Basic Set I put them back to the humidor.

AmnesTea

I need to construct me one of those! Let me know your thoughts on the terrior set :-)

It is going to rest for at least two weeks as it came in a bamboo wrapped tong. Beautiful stuff!

In March 2013 we were in HK when I first tried a pu’er tea. I still recall being a 19 year old Imperial loose leaf tea, after that it was uphill from there.

Mostly I drink sheng rather than shou because of the fear of the creation of kidney stones but once a month I spoil myself with a shou session.
