2015 Pin Raw Puer Tea from White2tea.
The Pin is a blend of three years of high quality material (2013, 2014, and 2015) with Lincang character. The tea has a sweet flavor and a heavy fragrance. The texture of the soup is much smoother than our other 2015 productions due to the blended material from previous years, which was stored in Menghai prior to pressing. An excellent tea to drink now or save to drink several years down the line.

Naka raw puer tea pressed April first of 2005. Stored in excellent humid, but not too humid conditions. The first couple of steeps retain some astringency. Depth of feeling in the throat and slick texture in the mouth. Our opinion is that this tea generates an uncommon body response of deep calm.

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.

This cake is made from the Menghai factory recipe 7542. This production was made on private order at a smaller factory in 2001. The tea is already fairly smooth and easy to drink. There is some humidity that still shows up in early steeps, as well as a minimal amount of sharpness early on. The fragrances of middle age are still apparent, and there is a lingering sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

The Old Bear brick is a smokey, heavy tea that is ideal for tea drinkers who enjoy flavors that are present in Scotch whisky, cigars, and pipe tobacco.
The Old Bear is a 100 gram brick that we found unpackaged in a warehouse. The tight compression of the traditional fangcha [square brick] style served it well, as most pieces are wholly intact. The characteristic smoke of the fangcha has faded slightly, but still carries a punch in the early steeps. The tea is a burly daily drinker for tea drinkers who want some oomph in their cup.

This Yiwu tea is made from 2009 Yiwu material, pressed and then stored in Guangzhou natural conditions soon after pressing. It is just nearing middle aged character, with a lingering sweetness and strong presence. The tea is already fairly smooth for those who prefer to enjoy it now, but would also benefit from long term aging.
The wrapper says "Yiwu Gushu" [old arbor tea] among other claims, all of which should be taken with a grain of salt. (Actual Yiwu Gushu would add a zero to this price) However, the tea is a very well priced quality tea for those looking to drink middle aged Yiwu or seeking to build a collection. A tong of this tea is quite affordable to put away for the years to come.

This raw Puer brick is not for the faint of heart. Let's just get this out of the way; If you are afraid of bits of random debris, unsightly leaves, unverifiable information, and generally unattractive leaves, this tea is not for you.
If you haven't been scared off, this is an excellent tea with a lot of age and an incredibly reasonable price. At the time this brick was made, huangpian [larger leaves] were viewed as undesirable, hence the shabby treatment this brick received. The tea is sweet and smooth, with an aged touch of medicinal flavors and wood. This is a great tea to brew gongfu style for a smooth aged treat.
The wrapper says "Yiwu Zhengshan" [yiwu mountain], as well as 250g, neither of which are necessarily accurate. Each tea brick is roughly 200 grams of tea of unknown origin. The exact age is just an estimation. This is not a zhongcha official production. However, at this bargain price, the tea will quickly assure you that none of those mysteries are particularly relevant. The tea is great.

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.

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.

The material is from Hekai. This is the second and final pressing of this material. Some of the wrappers were stamped incorrectly as 2006.

The 2017 tuhao as fuck is a blend of raw Puer material with character similar to Laobanzhang, without using any actual Laobanzhang material. Slightly heavier bitterness than in previous years, with a follow up of sweetness, the character is aggressive.
The tea itself is excellent quality despite not being “real” Laobanzhang. Aggressive in the first few years, this tea can benefit from some resting before drinking.

2015 Last Thoughts Raw Puer Tea from White2tea.
A tea made with high quality material that took no small effort to acquire. This tea has the character of Yiwu and is elegant, and deceptively powerful. As we mentioned with our 2014 Last Thoughts, this is a tier of tea that rarely sees the open market, much less the Western market. An enduring tea that we hope you get the opportunity to try.

The Sister Brother set is a comparison sample set that illustrates the difference in processing styles that can exist between two different people, in this case a sister and brother.
The material in the bricks is identical Nannuo mountain material, but each brick was commissioned to be processed by only one person. The sister brick is material processed with a shorter kill green phase at a lower temperature, where as the brother brick is processed with a higher flame and fried for a longer time. These are their natural processing styles as people, I simply told them to process the tea as they normally would and to keep their respective materials separate for pressing.
This set is best used in a side by side comparison to see how the person processing a tea can influence the end results of identical material. It should shed light on how much variation can truly occur, not only within a "single origin" tea, but even within a family using identical material from a single tea garden.
Each set is 200 grams of raw Puer tea, comprised of two 100g bricks. Though this is an educational set, the tea is pretty damn nice - learning should be fun.

Raw Puer tea from Wuliang mountain, with the exact date of the tea being unknown. Our best guess is mid to late 2000's. The tea was in clean dry storage in South China, which has smoothed out the rough edges. The soup is sweet and easy to drink. It has a poppy, pleasant floral fragrance with a lasting sweetness in the mouth.
For around $50 for a 357g cake, this aged Puer is a great value.

A blend of raw Puer material from Yiwu region. When we first made this blend in 2014, we wrote "This tier of tea rarely sees the light of day in the open market," and we sincerely mean that. Not a blend we would recommend for beginners. The traits that make this tea special are often not apparent to most new Puer drinkers.
We will not be making this exact blend next year.
Each cake is 357 grams. The per gram price and cake price of this tea are identical to facilitate people buying less than a full cake with no mark up.

Intense kuwei [bitterness] and potency that will not disappoint lovers of brute strength.
The total production of this tea was under 30 kilograms.
