Happy Weekend Tea Friends,

In case you missed it, on Friday, we released four extremely limited aged white tea pressings from Mr Wu - our favorite multi-generational tea farmer with an engineering degree turned conservationist and wild-forager advocate ;)
Tasting these exquisitely complex white teas from youngest to oldest got me thinking about how much more complex tea aging is than just “fermentation” that people talk about with pu’er. In the case of white tea, oolong, and black tea, moisture is strongly discouraged instead of encouraged, which takes fermentation out of the picture entirely.

Instead, we get very slow hydrolysis, oxidation, and maillard reactions happening and complementing each other as they form complex flavor molecules.

The basic result is that teas get toastier, sweeter and richer as they age. The reality is that they tend to pick up wild, intense spice, cooling sensation, incense-like qualities, and a powerful lingering aftertaste.

So what’s today’s deal?

How about 18% off ALL BLACK TEA in the collection

Why black tea? Because black teas have the same aging potential as white tea. Indeed, Li Xiangxi in Wuyishan loves to age her favorite black teas for years to give them that deep powerful cooling quality.

Save on All Black Tea
Even teas like Laoshan Black can be wonderful aged - I always hold back a few bags with each harvest, which then of course get promptly lost at the back of my cabinet. Every five years or so, I stumble upon some OLD Laoshan Black, and I am always shocked by how deep, dark and spiced it becomes.

Of course, Qianjiazhai black teas are finished specifically with aging in mind, and these teas take on the same electric tingling quality as the Dongsa Cooperative’s best sheng pu’er.

My point is this: while we are celebrating the arrival of aged white tea cakes, I want to give you an extra incentive stock up on black tea alongside any white tea you are able to pick up. It is rare that I can offer such a steep discount on all black teas, so this is a great opportunity.
I can also say, I’ve been enjoying flash chilled black tea like Golden Fleece to no end here as the weather heats up. A strong, potent brew shaken over frozen cubes has the complexity of gongfu tea, but as cold and refreshing as can be.

Plus- the foam! Who can say no to that?
foamy flash-chilled tea!
Alrighty! Be sure to check out those white teas while they’re here. When they are gone and sold out, that’s it  - these special pressings can't be restocked.

Plus, this weekend only, ALL porcelain is on super sale at 20% off.

How about sipping flash chilled Golden Fleece or aged white tea out of one of these stunning white tea bowls? With the foam, it’s just like old-school matcha or “dian cha.”

Thanks so much, and happy sipping,
