I sampled this – quickly – at the end of a day – a few weeks ago and never logged it so I RE-tasted it today and have a little time to jot down my thoughts…
This is slightly sweet and floral but a bit black peppery and pretty PINE-e.
The after taste is a bit bark-like but more like pine-needles…with a hint of sweetness.
I do like this white pu-erh.

Sounds good! I like white bud puerh even iced. Refreshing!
I have some of this tea from Verdant I haven’t even tried yet. what a slacker!
I sourced this tea myself when in Yunnan. This particular crop is going to really deepen in flavor over the next couple of years. The piney-ness will soften and aroma will turn a little sweeter and syrupy. The flavor, too. I am just about to open the crates of this tea and store them in the vault with the other pu’er teas here. I keep them sealed for the 1st year and then store them as pu’er for the duration of their lovely little lives! Thank you for the review!!!
I just ordered Verdants because the sample was fantastic and you can steep it endlessly. I was amazed!
David (of Verdant Tea) and I are great friends. We just spent 4 hours together on Sunday sipping and talking tea. Such a joy to know another great importer of teas. Great guy!
I didn’t know you (Garret) and David were friends! That’s wonderful! It really DOES make sense that you are because – from what I can see – you share some of the same customer service fundamentals, business sense, and tea/farmer/education appreciation!!! Excellent!!! You and David are but great!
awww, shucks, thanks for the kind words about mine and David’s companies! We enjoy it whenever we can get together because we are both so passionate about the tea. Sometimes we talk, other times we just sit, sip, smile and giggle :) You should join us sometime!
White pu-erh sounds interesting, I’ve never encountered that before. Aged white tea?
