The week of random shou minis is drawing to a close with 2020 "prosbloom" from White2Tea. Tip for gong fu brewing tightly compressed minis: rinse them a couple times in the pot (or gaiwan) with water at the appropriate temp, put the lid on the pot, and let them steam closed for 5-10 minutes. Then come back and restart your brewing.

Today's random trick or treat bag "Shulloween" selection was a 2020 Planetary Shark Feed ripe puerh mini. Another reasonably priced everyday shou, but with a touch of White2Tea storage character.

Who can resist a pound of shou puerh minis, especially with such a charming carry bag? (Thermos brew of Grandpa's 2 Shou Puerh from White2Tea.)

Trying another puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea, 2017 Ginseng Brick Ripened Puerh. Warming, easy drinking ripe puerh with a pleasant huigan (lingering bitterness) and surprisingly zippy head based energy.

There's a sort of convergent evolution as ripe and raw puerh age. Which is to say, a 20 year old ripe puerh is pretty similar to a well aged raw puerh. Ripe puerh starts funky and mellows with age. Raw puerh starts harsh and gets mellow and funky with age. This is a 2002 Golden Leaf Shu Pu'er from Verdant tea. It is mellowed sufficiently that it is essentially indistinguishable from a well aged raw puerh. It is a very enjoyable and long lasting cup.

As promised, shou puerh for Friday. 2009 Xinghai "Dragon" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Mini Cake. Pretty sure I got this as a bonus gift for ordering above X $ amount from Yunnan Sourcing. Solid and enjoyable ripe puerh; warming and mellow, no off flavors or scents. Good energy.

Continuing to chip away at my White2Tea 2014 Red Shroom Shu Tuocha. Verrry tight compression as we set the controls for the heart of the tea. Be careful with that tea knife, Eugene.

This mysterious black tea pot from Jiri Duchek (via Pu-Erh.SK) seems a good match for aged Ripened Puerh, (in this case 2014 Red Shroom from White2Tea).

At 9 years old, 2014 Red Shroom Shou Puerh from White2Tea goes back to the early days of the company. I always say raw puerh gets weirder with age and ripe puerh mellows and gets less weird. After 5 years in White2Tea storage and 4 years in my basement, Red Shroom practically tastes like slightly funky black tea. Another good cold weather tea.
