  • Welcome to Simple Dreams - the limited edition collection of relatively fresh White Tea cakes which are spectacular now and will become STELLAR as they age. Finding good Aged Whites at a decent price is so much harder these days so instead - spend less on better tea leaves and build a valuable aged tea collection yourself! HINT: Buy a tong if you can!

    I must say, I'm surprised at how helpful the photos alongside tasting notes are. I have not seen those on your videos before, but I've mostly been watching older ones so far. Hope this idea continued.
    Never knew folks were aging white tea, may have to give this a try.

    @MeiLeaf - Don - Would you recommend keeping the cakes in their wrappers and artwork as-received for aging (inside an airtight container with a humidity packet), or should any of the wrappers be removed? Didn’t see the answer to this in your other video where you concluded the 60-65% packets were best. BTW, I’m in very-dry Denver, CO USA. Thanks!

    Can anyone remember or point me to the videos made about using the Boveda packets for storing/aging tea again. I'll be moving to a bit more humid of an environment soon, and want to refresh myself on which ones were best to use. And the best way to store tea with them.

    Really pleasant welcome from the staff, took my time savouring Young Gushu '22 and picked up your dong ding and yunnan '96 shu pu'er tuo on my way out. I may be back tomorrow to try Simple Dreams if I don't melt on the way there!

    • @MeiLeaf
      @MeiLeaf  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you are referring to Anji Bai Cha then this is actually a Green tea. I have made a video about this tea: th-cam.com/video/fbe_Tg1Uye0/w-d-xo.html
      Similar green worth trying are:
      Monkey Picked: meileaf.com/p/tea-mkpc/
      Fur Peak: meileaf.com/tea/fur-peak/
      Also you could try Yellow Tea: meileaf.com/teas/yellow/
      White Teas are a very different taste - maybe pick up some White Peony as a relatively affordable dip into White tea and graba sample of Simple Dreams for a more aged taste. meileaf.com/teas/white/

    Am I the only one who had no idea that aged white tea was a thing? I’ve only ever bought fresher white tea leaves, mainly loose leaf silver needle. I’ve also never seen white tea in cake form like that. I thought only puer came in the compressed cakes.

      Aged White Tea is relatively new (around 10 years) but is a great way to transform Whites.

    How much humidity do you need for the aging process?

    • @MeiLeaf
      @MeiLeaf  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      recommend 60-70%. Any higher and it will age faster but may not have the same depth.
