Nice to hear your thoughts on the Ol’ Reliable ripe, which I acquired recently as part of the basics set.
I have thought about joining the W2T club. Is there any forum or venue online where club members can discuss their thoughts about each month’s teas (which James alluded to in the video)?
Thanks.
Hmm, I am not sure exactly what James had in mind but you may find these helpful:
Here is the Steepster discussion on the topic, mostly people recommending the club: http://steepster.com/discuss/9498-white2tea-club-tea-delivered-to-your-doorstep-every-month?page=1&post_id=170775
Oolong Owl is also pretty good about doing posts/reviews where each month is reviewed all in the same post: http://oolongowl.com/tag/monthly-tea-box/
You may also try searching for each individual tea on Steepster for more in depth reviews.
Hi Peter & Bellmont,
As Bellmont says, there’s a good deal of activity on steepster and Oolong Owl is very good about posting monthly. There’s also a lot of chatter on instagram if that is your thing.
Cheers!

James so savage about the white tea having a soft profile. “Is this the kind of tea you would serve to a girl on a date?”, that white tea is from the STREETS.
lol Matt! A white tea from the streets. I can get on board with this.
How do you age white tea?
Hi bellmont,
I’m not really too sure. I’d imagine that the caked version is stored somewhat similarly to pu’erh.

Ahah! James reveals his patented white tea seduction technique. Take note!!
It’s Professor Schergen to you good sir..
