Wait a minute... is this tinklefor... ...Anonymous,<br /><br />Wait a minute... is this tinklefor... or Scott... hahaha...<br /><br />Yunnan Sourcing has some super aggressive marketing too and I hope to write about it in an upcoming post- both white2tea and Yunnan Sourcing do great work with this I think.<br /><br />That type of sampling will for sure tell you what vendor you favor. Genius. Someone should offer this?<br /><br />I just tired the Smoove Cocoa free sample but just did my first reorder of another cake. Overall I see some value in white2tea.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-62550308665759422612019-01-10T15:55:47.959-08:002019-01-10T15:55:47.959-08:00YS and w2t pushing marketing to the limits, but in...YS and w2t pushing marketing to the limits, but in different ways. Tried lots of 2018 samples from w2t. Not one sample convinced me. I recommend, at least one time, to buy lots of samples of young raw puer from at least 5 vendors. Should be tea from the same year. Then do a blind test. Very educating and surprising.

I didn’t realize that tinklefor also did a value comparison with Yunnan Sourcing... I just did that in my 2018 Smoove Coco post.... hahaha<br /><br />It sounds like both 2017 & 2018 Snoozefest use the same recipe as the notes sound an awful lot alike. I would be interested in a comparison. I don’t think the intensity of the floral sweet high notes were stressed enough in the 2017.<br /><br />Please feel free to leave your impression of the 2018 here if you wish.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-43690885917932692852019-01-09T06:39:06.967-08:002019-01-09T06:39:06.967-08:00Matt,
Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com...Matt,<br /><br />Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/comments/723317/getting_good_raw_pu_erh_online/dnhfjt6<br /><br />I own both, but haven't tried 2018 yet. The 2017 was young, very green, floral in the early infusions, and more bitter vegetal as it went along. At some point the bitterness lessened and it had a sweet grassy flavor. It's not my favorite puerh profile, but I found it enjoyable (enough that I bought 2018).<br /><br />Best,<br />PeterPeter Listanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-19594875863727324382018-12-31T23:18:41.611-08:002018-12-31T23:18:41.611-08:00Peter Lista,

I intended to include it in the original post but after searching and failing to find the original link to the Reddit, I accidentally left it out. Thank you for meantioning it here. If you know the link drop it in a comment please.<br /><br />How did you like the 2017/2018 Snoozefest?<br /><br />Much peace<br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-66460339552767746932018-12-30T09:17:04.745-08:002018-12-30T09:17:04.745-08:00I'm glad that you liked 2018 Snoozefest. There...I'm glad that you liked 2018 Snoozefest. There's another origin to its name, which you might not be aware of. In 2017, reddit user tinklefor critiqued Little Walk -- one of White2Tea's other budget offerings -- as "very cheap and it's at best a snoozefest." I am sure that Paul named (maybe even pressed) Snoozefest in response to that comment.<br /><br />I'm excited to read your reviews of more budget teas!Peter Listanoreply@blogger.com
