2025 Yunnan Sourcing "Silver Label" Wild Arbor White Tea 7g Mini Cakes
First time posting here, but curious if anybody have any experience with the '25 Yunnan Sourcing "Silver Label" Wild Arbor White Tea 7g Mini Cakes and wanted to compare notes? I just received my order from YS today and tried one immediately. Was a very refreshing soup with lots of fruity and floral notes, and a few light campfor moments. I brewed this grandpa style in a thermos. Deep color, round body, and a nice hui gan. Only did two steeps of around 500ml, with the second being a mellower echo of the first.
I am still quite the neophyte when it comes to quality whole leaf. Just a few weeks ago I had nothing, and now I have a set of proper tools and over a kilo of teas. I got sick of drinking crap western tea and decided to invest. Most are shou and a couple Fu bricks (really intersted in the benefits of Golden Flowers and I enjoy the earthy/mushroom/woody flavors), so I've got quite the array to peruse. So far only one has been a real dud. Looking forward to trying the '25 Fuding "Bai Hao Yin Zhen" Silver Needles White next. My wife is not a fan of my new rabbit hole, but hey... it's not heroin!
Also, gotta give a big thanks to r/tea, r/puer, r/gongfutea and Jesse's Teahouse for all the enabling... I mean knowledge! Cheers!
