2002 White2Tea White Whale
Still riding the pu'er train today as I drink a tea about to hit puberty. Twelve years of age have turned this tea into a very smooth affair. It has a firm undercurrent of wood, hay, and smoky apricots that lingers in the mouth and throat for a significant amount of time after swallowing. It has a pleasant sourness that is accompanied by a slight tongue-drying astringency.
It is notably sharper when brewed in a gaiwan, however the rounding of flavors offered by this yixing teapot is very welcome on a day where I needed some extra smoothness and relaxation.
If you are interested in pu'er and haven't been to White2Tea's website.. check it out.
