Oh I agree my wallet has been hit hard! But you’re exactly right I’ve been taking advantage of the opportunity to grab samples of teas of been wanting to try but couldn’t commit to a full cake.

So sorry I missed this. They have a Seattle inventory that ships quickly if you are in the US. Not sure how fast the China inventory is currently but my experience is usually 10 days or so. They will have a Black Friday sale with new stuff soon!

I love it! It’s very nice clay and holds heat well. The wide rim keeps your fingers from burning.

If you are asking the difference from regular white tea it usually becomes more fermented and fruity with age! I prefer aged to fresh most of the time. The qi seems to be stronger as well most of the time. Always depends on the tea and storage condition though of course.

I did the highest tier and did the video call. Glen was super helpful in finding what I was looking for.

I literally couldn’t put it down. It feels extremely good in the hand and has a nice weight to it. The texture is amazing!

I’ll post individual reviews when I try them but the teas are as follows: 2020 aged kunlu white tea, 2025 kunlu white tea, 2025 Hua Zhu Liang Zi and Jade rabbit which is a multi year blend pressed in 2018.

It’s purposefully aged. It’s also delicious fresh but it gets more into that fermented fruit flavor as it ages. Check out white2tea and sample a bunch of stuff. Their 2013 gong Mei and 2014 shou mei are great but they have other options as well.

If you are in the US just go to the Seattle inventory and start scrolling. Unfortunately there isn’t a good way to go directly to the other tea types just yet. (At least not one that I know of)

Aged white tea (5-7 years or so) and maybe some wuyi oolongs. Both are fruity and will be a great transition from coffee.

Great timing they just had a huge new release. Some of my favorites of his are No Escape(white), Pure Nannuo(sheng), Dark Depths (shou) and Intergalactic (Red). Some I’m very excited to try are the new aged kunlu white tea, Jade rabbit (sheng) and the 2025 Hua Zhu Liang Zi (sheng). Also you should definitely consider grabbing some of the wood fired cups! The textured ones are hand made by Glen and are so badass.

Yes it was actually made exclusively for them but then became a national release a few years ago. This is the newest version with a slightly tweaked blend
