Ep 33 - An Old Arbor Pu'er Harvested In 2015 With Smokey Cedar And Tobacco Notes From The Bulang Mountains
The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, drinks an old arbor pu’er from the Bulang mountains (https://www.tridentcafe.com/puer-tea/bulang-old-arbor-2015) harvested in 2015 with filmmaker, Josh Hyde. The Bulang mountains in Southern China are renowned for the powerful, bittersweet teas they produce. One of the most famous terroirs for raw pu’er, this blend of old tree material from different villages has aged beautifully in wet Guangzhou storage. This sheng style pu’er tea was made from a blend of old arbor material harvested in the Spring of 2015 from different villages across a somewhat wide area. At 7 years of age, this tea has mellowed considerably. There is still some background astringency which should age out in a few years. Otherwise the character is rich and woodsy, with characteristic tobacco and dried fruit notes. This is a very good value for this quality of material with a good head start aging.

Ep - 32 Anji Baicha AA Is An Exquisite Green Tea With Sweet Floral Notes
The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, steeps a green tea known as Anji Baicha with filmmaker, Josh Hyde. Anji Baicha (https://www.tridentcafe.com/green) (安吉白茶) or just “Anji White” is a popular and newly developed green tea from Zhejiang, China. Though called “white” it is in fact a green tea. Its long, needle-like leaves brew a sweet, complex, and highly refreshing tea suitable for drinking any time of the year. This especially high grade batch was acquired at great expense, but was well worth it. The lightly green liquor bursts with spring-time floral and garden aromas. Its taste is almost unbelievably sweet and coating. This is a true tea lover’s tea with a classic Chinese green tea profile, though its natural sweetness should make it approachable for almost anyone.

Ep 31 - An Award Winning Tie Guan Yin From Taiwan's Muzha Region
The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, steeps an award wining Tie Guan Yin from Taiwan with filmmaker, Josh Hyde. Tea was first brought to Taiwan’s Wen Shan district in Taipei city over 300 years ago by Chinese immigrants from Fujian. This Mu Zha Tie Guan Yin (https://www.tridentcafe.com/award-winning-teas/mu-zha-tie-guan-yin-fine-grade) is an authentic and traditional Taiwan oolong through and through, grown in the birthplace of Taiwanese tea and processed in the traditional manner. Unlike the majority of Chinese Tie Guan Yin oolongs, which are lightly oxidized and bright green, Mu Zha Tie Guan Yins are darker and roasted. The tea undergoes a long process of withering, rolling, sorting, and baking, which takes a true master to execute well. This tea was awarded “Fine Grade” in the Mu Zha Tea Farmer’s Association Competition of 2022. It tastes remarkably balanced, with sweet honey and red cherry notes, complemented by a medium level charcoal roast. We imported a very small amount, so get it while it’s here.
