#+title: White2Tea 2023 En Passant
#+author: Jacob Janzen

This tea is a really affordable small-batch shou pu'er from White2Tea. The store page describes it as a little fresh in 2023 and I will concede that it is definitely a little too fresh even in early 2024. A friend described this tea as "it smells like ass, but it's so smooth" and that is probably the best description I could give to it. At this point, the smells of wet piling are starting to recede, but the unbrewed leaves still have that distinct pile smell.
Despite the fact that it doesn't smell too great (it's not /that/ bad, it just doesn't smell /nice/ like other teas might), the flavour is fantastic. It's got an earthy, mossy taste that might remind one of mushrooms and the black liquor that the leaves produce goes down your throat with ease. Absolutely no bitterness even when brewing for long periods of time.
Rating 6/10
