Lumber Slut was pressed in 2017.
If you dislike the idea of licking wood and rolling around on the damp forest floor, turn back now.
Lumber Slut is not the most approachable ripe Puer tea. Blended to favor the dense flavors of petrichor, this style of ripe Puer is focused on unfolding as a woody experience with notes of camphor and lower umber toned tastes. Will benefit from further aging, but if you're down for what this tea is offering, we suspect you can drink it straight away without flinching.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.

This tea was produced in autumn of 2015 using a traditional technique for bamboo Puer pressing and a specific variety of fragrant bamboo. The Midwest Nice is fragrant, smooth, and sweet. The aromatics of the bamboo and the natural tea fragrance have melded together to form a unique Puer drinking experience. Drink now or aged as desired.
We decided to produce this tea according to the natural shapes of the bamboo rather than waste pieces that didn't fit our ideal shape or size. We will break apart the amount you choose and send it in a sealed bag.
Each purchase amount is 50 grams.

Little O was pressed in 2017.
This blend of ripe Puer was pressed with aged orange peels, also called chenpi from Xinhui, in Guangdong province. The orange peels add an entrancing fragrance to the tea and will age with the tea. When steeping, the tea opens first with a smooth soup texture, with the orange peels contributing during mid to late steeps. The dynamic between the tea and the chenpi is engaging and soothing. An excellent drink for cold weather.
Each cake is 8 grams. The blend contains both ripe Puer tea and aged chenpi.

This tea was produced in autumn of 2015 with 2014 Puer material using a traditional technique for bamboo Puer pressing. The Big Leaf Bamboo is named for the Huanpian [larger, older Puer leaves] that were used in its making. The tea starts with a bitter character and becomes sweeter as the session progresses, the tea flavors meld with the bamboo throughout. The tea can also be boiled for a heavy syrupy drink, or used in cooking rice to impart a tea/bamboo flavor. Drink now or aged as desired.

2015 Red Star is made with blended aged ripe Puer material and a fresh 2015 Xinhui Mandarin.
The tea is meant to be drunk with the orange skin. Simply break off a few small pieces (roughly an 8:1 tea to skin ratio) and steep together. The red star is quite fresh and has a heavy fruity, citrus fragrance. For those interested in a more aged, medicinal taste, purchase this tea now in order to age it or check out the Black Star.
Most of the cost of this tea is due to the high price of both the handmade labor and the prized skins of Xinhui Mandarins, which cost much more than most Puer tea by weight. If you are interested in better value for tea weight, check out our other Ripe Puer Teas.
Each purchase is for one Red Star Mandarin.

The Fade brick is a raw Puer tea, pressed in 2016 using 2015 Yiwu Huangpian [the largest leaf in Puer processing] material.
While huangpian are often considered to be inexpensive, the quality of the material in this blend is very high. The tea is sweet and thick. There is a slight sour note in the tea which will give way to honey and smoothness with further aging. We also feel this tea has a strong body feeling, though that varies from person to person.
Suitable to drink now or age for the long haul. There are 5 bricks per 1 kilogram tong.

2011 Black Star is made with blended aged ripe Puer material and an aged 2011 Xinhui Mandarin.
The tea is meant to be drunk with the orange skin. Simply break off a few small pieces (roughly an 8:1 tea to skin ratio) and steep together. The black star has a woody character, and much of the strong young fruit has faded, as the flavors have moved towards medicinal flavor. For those interested in a stronger fruity flavor, we recommend the 2015 Red Star.
Most of the cost of this tea is due to the high price of both the handmade labor and the prized skins of Xinhui Mandarins, which cost much more than most Puer tea by weight. If you are interested in better value for tea weight, check out our other Ripe Puer Teas.

2015 72Hours from White2tea.
Our highest quality and most complex blend from 2015. A tea worthy of aging, but a joy to drink for lovers of young raw Puer tea. The 72Hours blend is intensely sweet and has a variety of engaging characteristics. We recommend this as a tea for special occasions or focused brewing.
The material in this blend crosses many regions and mountains, but all of the material used is of excellent quality. We have been studying this blend of material for several years and after short term aging (~5 years) the soup becomes increasingly viscous and sweet, with an intense body feel.

You've been at sea for weeks and you're bone-tired. The tattered sails need repairs and your crew is working frantically to mend them; storm clouds loom on the horizon. They are fatigued from a full day's labor. Murmurs and complaints linger on the breeze. The faint stench of mutiny. Your mates grow weary, wondering if they'll ever see port again. Lily-livered bastards. Is it the weeks of subsisting on mussels and whale meat? Straw mat beds and the churning waters that ceaselessly toy with our vessel? No matter. This is what they signed up for and you've got bigger fish to fry. The crew continues sewing the sails as you plot the next move. Your throat is raw from barking orders. The briny sea air and your pipe tobacco haven't helped a bit.
Your first mate pokes his head through the door, "Your tea is ready, Captain."
Each mini cake is 8 grams, each purchase is for one mini cake.

Channel Orange was pressed in 2015 into a chocolate bar shape.
The brick is a mixed of a white2tea Puer blend and a mix of 3-8 years old Xinhui Chenpi, the dried skins of mandarin oranges. The result is a thick and fragrant natural melding of fruit flavors and the characteristic smooth body of ripe Puer. We find this to be a soothing tea that is great for cool weather or rainy days.

2015 Bosch Raw Puer Tea from White2tea.
This is tea is a blend of several areas, with character from both Xishuangbanna and Yiwu. The tea has light flavor and fragrance, causing it to be deceptively soft. Though we prefer to shy away from descriptions of body feeling, but it is worth mentioning that this tea creates an noticeable body feeling after being consumed. We do not recommend this tea for Puer beginners, as the subtlety and elegance of this tea may be lost on the beginners. This tea may be a better place to begin.

2015 Tuhao Raw Puer Tea from White2tea.
This tea is our attempt at blending a tea with character similar to Laobanzhang, without using any actual Laobanzhang material. Though Laobanzhang character is not a singular thing, and can mean literally hundreds of different things, we opted for a tea with a lighter bitterness and more sweetness and internal strength.
The cake is a commentary on the focus on brand name, fame, and authenticity. The tea itself is excellent quality. Despite not being "real" Laobanzhang, it is real tea.

The 2017 U 2 CAN HELP is a cake we made to help out Education In Sight, a non-profit organization that focuses on helping children in rural Yunnan get the eyeglasses and eye-care that they need.
For each raw Puer tea cake purchased, white2tea will donate one eye exam, a pair of glasses, and eye education to a child in need in rural Yunnan via Education in Sight. Our goal is to sell out 100 cakes and help out 100 kids in 2017. We really appreciate your support and it'd be amazing if you'd help spread the word!
The material of the tea cake is from Lincang, with a strong fragrance and thick mouth feel, this tea is sweet and floral. The loose tea from this cake was featured in the white2tea club in May of 2017. We are not selling samples of this tea, it's about the charity as much as the tea.
Even if you aren't into this tea cake, you can still donate to Education in Sight and get involved with their cause. Visit their website, or take a look at the information below to learn more about their mission.
Education In Sight is a non-profit organization whose vision is a China where every rural student has the eyeglasses they need to see clearly. Over 30 million students across rural China don't have the eyeglasses they need to see clearly in school. As a result, they suffer from significantly poorer academic performance, and much higher drop out rates. At Education In Sight, we work with local government and private partners to bring high quality eye exams and eye care directly to students inside the classroom, so they have no barriers to clear vision and can achieve life-long success.
To date, Education In Sight has coordinated over 150,000 eye exams, and delivered over 19,000 eyeglasses to students in Yunnan province. Their goal is to solve this problem for students both now and in the long-term, so that every rural student has the chance to see clearly and succeed.
