One of the pleasures of time flying, and having a 12 year puer habit.

Forgot about this tea, smushed down at the bottom of a big bag of cakes with some age on them. 2015 Pin from @white2tea.bsky.social - I think this was from the club originally? It is smooth and juicy these days, but sweet and almost a little oily. Yum!

Brice Marden Overdrive, delayed release 2022 shou with a lil white2storage on it. This is my birthday tea today. It's really good.. damn. Even picked up on some floral notes in the middle of this session. Silky, luscious...
Thanks for the delicious and intriguing tea, @white2tea.bsky.social

This game forever changed my life

a makeshift shrine of sorts with symmetrically placed lit candles, two small tomato plushies standing either side of a mug and one large tomato plushy sitting in the mug. behindthis is earthbound snes packaging.

a slightly creepier makeshift shrine with a mannequin-like face or mask sitting on top of earthbound packaging, the cartridge sitting in front of it. to the right is what looks like a red jewel case for mother 1+2 (soundtrack?). to the left is something blue and what look like troll dolls with the bright ffrizzy hair. there is also what looks like a mannequin arm protruding and reaching out from behind the earthbound packaging. a larger green vampire(?) face is behind the mannequin face.

Old tea shot I found from 2017 I think?

Ya I love it. You might be able to find it elsewhere, but I got it on Amazon: Wishacc bamboo 13.2 x 9.2

For real. Mylar bags and Boveda packs to the rescue 🙏

First day back to school. First up was the obvious choice: School Day young raw puer. Second up, slowly opening, is a Tian Jian mini from 2022. Both from @white2tea.bsky.social
Started the early morning with a 6am session of He Huan Jingmai raw puer from Farmer Leaf (not pictured).

Thank goodness I live in a humid place. But even so, they need a bump.

I will say some Kunming aged ripes leave a bit to be desired...

Seriously wow. Where are you?

Alright! That gives me confidence.
I guess I've been doubting my senses. 😅

2025 Coop from white2tea. I've learned, from all the young raw puerh that my students have tried, that I like "bitter water" lol

The ice is melting while I'm perkin up with "Coop" from @white2tea.bsky.social
No fancy description, it's just fuckin good, y'all.

That's my feeling too.. just really haven't heard much in the way of treating ripes like others. The difference is dramatic with raw puerh and fu zhuan in my collection.
There is a clear difference between dry and humid stored ripes. I started tossing packs in my bags 2 years ago and I like it 👍

Boveda packs in raw puerh bags for storage is tried and true, in my experience.
#teasky what are your thoughts on Boveda packs for *ripe* puerh storage?

Actually so true - my attention is better placed on tea leaves
Not in an avoidant sense, but in practicing peace. ❤️

Ours is pretty stylish, too, in my opinion 🙂

Sounds interesting! The black pepper note I picked up on was on the aroma of a few fresh ripes. Most recently a Ma Hei village ripe that was released early. It's fading a bit but I'll enjoy it while it lasts 🙂

😊 I don't know how I went so many years without one! Omg lol. It's so much more relaxing to read now!!

Brummagem raw puerh from white2tea

First session with Brummagem - tons of depth in flavor and aroma. Really fantastic. It comes off as if it has a bit of age on it. Just lovely.
@white2tea.bsky.social

That black pepper note... I've found it in a few teas (most recently a fresh ripe) and. I absolutely love it.

Nice write up!

Sometimes my cat can express my feelings better than I can.

Mornings can be a slog before that first tea sesh

I gifted that to one of my first students when he was graduating from the HS where I teach. He just got married after finishing grad school. Y'all making me feel old!

Just woke up -- thanks for choosing my morning tea for me. ✌️

Seriously, since day one it's complexity and beauty has been stunning. And it has aged so nicely for me. (just bag aging).

Found this treasure of a tea, spring cleaning the drawers in my classroom. A 2018 white tea, Censers, from @white2tea.bsky.social
Smells amazing!

Zhong Kui gaiwan for a much needed big ripe puer session this afternoon. Hope everyone's Monday is going well #teasky ♥️

Thanks! Definitely a fun trial. Last year was my first year trying, and was not as successful 🫠 The white tea worked out but my "black tea" did not lol!

Any success with other tea types?

I'm very impressed (and learned a lot by googling almost everything you mentioned). My wife is the cocktail drinker and maker in the house. I bet she'd love to have some dancong liqueur to play with. Now I'm thinking of other oolong teas that'd make for interesting mixers...
