Lumber Slut was pressed in 2018. The return of our heralded woody blend from 2017.
Blended to favor the dense flavors of petrichor and wood, this style of ripe Puer is focused on unfolding as an experience with notes of camphor and lower umber toned tastes. Will benefit from further aging, but if you’re down for what this tea is offering, we suspect you can drink it straight away without flinching.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
A rich, chocolatey, earthy tea, great for this first week of fall, reminds me of the scent of those rubber mulch wood chips that schools use for their playgrounds. I wasn’t wow’d by this tea but I certainly could see it being an easy daily drinker during the winter.
Flavors: Camphor, Chocolate, Tar
Gongfu!
Doing what I do every time I place a giant White2tea order & trying to finish up some samples; starting with an afternoon teas ession of 2018 Lumberslut shou puer and some beet & feta mini scones from my lufafarms box!!
Love the combo of this thick and deeply earthy & woody shou paired w/ this flavour of scone. The tea is really dense and heavy, and has all those really great petrichor/wet soil and wood qualities that I love. In the scones, the beet adds some earthiness as well which compliments, but is slightly sweeter and brighter & the feta has a lovely tang and saltiness to contrast. Plus the scone is also just very flakey and buttery. It’s a really wonderful tea and food pairing!!

Steaming hot wet playground mulch, all the way. We liked it! We have historically responded well to teas that are woody. Fun name and wrapper art as well. Now if only someone would invent a tea that makes the drinkers mosquito bite proof… :( Got SEVEN bites for daring to share 40oz of this with a friend outside.
