In episode 81, Denny & James review an aged ripe pu’erh from White2Tea, the 1998 White Tuo. Dark and dank, this tea is a very good value proposition for a tea of its age (see white label tea).

Nice ep.
Only one 🙂 You were lucky. While digging out my first 6g of this tea. I found 3 🙂
That’s how it is.. the tea is good and boiling water really kill everything.I’ve liked it quite much too. Really nice tea with a bit of a nice storage taste.
I really like white2tea. All their product I’ve tryed so far are more than awesome!Cheers,

Hi Xavier,
Thanks for the comment! I am also incredibly fond of White2Tea. This tea for me is very much a mood-based one. Sometimes I greatly enjoy it, other times not as much. It does what it does very well and the price makes it a great deal. I am happy to own a sleeve of them.
Cheers to strong minds, stomachs and picking out 16-year old hairs!

Great video! Love the banter between you guys – quite entertaining! I have a sample of this which came with my last W2T order. Not sure if I want to try it now, as I’m not into dank, hairy, popcorn-flavoured, black-tar teas.

Give it a try, I’ve honestly seen hair in raw pu’erh a couple of times. Haiwan factory from what I’ve read are renouned for that 🙂
It’s a nice black as night tea… Anyway, I like it 😀
Cheeeeerrs!

Aha. Indeed, this tea is as dark as they come.

+1 for what Peter said on the delightful video. I had the day from hell and now feel just like I’ve had a good cuppa even though I didn’t. Why do I have all this tea??? I can watch these videos for free!
I draw the line at pubic hair myself.

Hi Cwyn,
Thanks for the comment! Pubic hair, pshh.. That’s nothing in the world of compressed pu’erh!
Cheers!

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the comment. It’s definitely worth a try, although I suspect it’s not for everyone. If I were you, I’d break it into small pieces expose it to some open-air for 1-2 weeks. That will reduce the storage funk on the tea. I ended up doing that with this tuo and have been relatively satisfied with the results.
Cheers!

Many thanks for the suggestions, James. I will definitely follow your advice!

No problem Peter! Let us know how you like the tea.
Good luck sir!
