A sample supplied by Grill. Thanks! This tea is sold by Malaysia based, Teapals.
This is an interesting, premium tea from a region that I’m only starting to be come a little familiar with. Very educational and interesting tea.
A lightly fermented ripe pu’erh from Yunnan Sourcing. Good base material and tasty now, but will likely improve with time.
As many of you may have noticed the tea of the month reports haven’t exactly been on schedule. They’ve often gone longer than expected and I still have countless unfinished samples which I am trying to drink through. First things first.. I’ll be finishing the last two reports at the end of 2015, Taiwanese oolongs to age & the box (aka aged oolongs). While it may seem premature to brainstorm/discuss how to continue these sorts of reports, it often takes a time to get these together without placing extraneous orders. These reports are the most personal tea journeyish projects that I do on TeaDB, but I’d certainly be curious to solicit some feedback. (more…)
This episode explores the later steeps of White2Tea’s Last Thoughts after taking a several hour break from the tea.
One of James’ favorites from White2Tea’s 2015 pu’erh lineup, the Bosch.
Shoutouts to Meng, Carolyn, Bellmont, and Dignitea for providing teas for this month and allowing the content to be what it is!
Menghai County Part 2! This is the last of the pu’erh reports for 2015. I’ll be traveling to Taiwan and Hong Kong in October and will finish up the year with a pair of oolong reports (more on this later week). It also probably represents the last young pu’erh report for quite sometime (more on this later in the report and next week). Similar to the last Menghai report, this is a continuation of the previous year’s Nannuo and Bulang reports. (more…)
Denong’s invigorating 2012 Lao Banzhang purportedly from one of the most famous and most expensive tea mountains.
A delicious Yancha from Essence of Tea. The roast has worn down nicely, putting this tea in a great place to drink!
A lightly roasted Yancha from White2Tea. Very fragrant/aromatic.
