  • Aged White tea is a tea type which we taste regularly and finding one which meets our standards is not simple. This Sunfire Ripple aged 2011 Fuding White tea hits the spot because we exclusively blended two batches of 2011 Shou Mei to get the perfect profile.

    Two things I did righ after watching this video:
    - I bought myself a cake of Sunfire Riple
    - I bought some figs and made a Fig Tartar Tin
    I'm being happy twice!

    I thought i would be the only one, who feels this kind of thrill after white tea. Every time it starts with this happy relaxed, smiling feeling, but two infusions later it turns into a drunkiness and coffein rush, but not the same as with coffein of coffee (My hands are not shaking). The last time i checked my blood pressure, but everything was fine. Heart rate at 58 - super relaxed... and i was like "wtf happens to me" xD

    I’ve been experimenting with aging white tea with humidity. 60-65% rh. Including sunfire ripple. I’m amazed at how much the bright copper leaves have darkened in less than a year. Taste is very similar though, perhaps slightly sweeter and more aromatic. I’m concerned the top notes may be dulling a bit. More time will tell! I don’t think sealed aging is a great idea for whites, though I would say you want very very little air exchange. I’m not sure where the notion that you want low humidity comes from, I haven’t found any good sources for this so I’m putting it to the test

    Gongmei means another kind of tea tree, wild species. Gongmei also has different level like yinzhen, baimudan, and shoumei. It's a little weild. Fuding and Zhenghe are most famous cities in fujian to produce white tea. Yueguangbai is not a good choice to choose, but some yunnan white tea improved their quality these years, used some leaves similar to puer. Fuding has some famous white tea regions: panxi, guanyang, and tailao mountain. Glad to see so many white tea lovers.

    According to the FuDing and ZhengHe tea prducers, ShouMei is a Summer pluck, while GongMei is an Autumn pluck. The look similar, but flavor and aroma profiles are quite different due to plant growth temperatures. Love you guys!

    I've ordered about half a dozen times from MeiLeaf. Placed an order for sunfire ripple and some other stuff and had the fiends that are Canadian Customs "inspect my package" and rip everything open. Cut open my bamboo charcoal, opened up the gong fu story and went through every compartment. Drug swabbed all the packaging. THEN passed it through inspection and forced me to pay the taxes and inspection fees. Not happy.

    • @MeiLeaf
      @MeiLeaf  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sorry that they went crazy with your package. They should not charge you any tax on tea as far as I am aware and I have no idea what right they have to charge you inspection fees at all. 🙄

    • @chrisladouceur4093
      @chrisladouceur4093 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mei Leaf it’s not your fault. Seems I just won the inspection lottery. I checked the tax slips and they definitely charged me tax on the tea too, but it’s a ridiculous amount of work to go after them for that bit of taxes, not worth my time. Fortunately they didn’t damage anything except maybe some broken charcoal

    Purchased more Sunfire Ripple, a full tong for aging. Canadian Customs ripped open the package and cut straight through and into one of the cakes. The rest seems fine but they definitely destroyed a cake. Instead of nicely opening the outer zip-loc style bag they just took a knife right through it, all the wrappers, and into the tea. Not sure what I can do about it :(

      White and PuErh are two different types of tea. White is made by controlled withering and then drying the pickings whereas PuErh is made similar to a Green tea. Both are suitable for ageing but produce very different tea.
