Episode 38 - Making Hefeng White Tea

In this episode, Derek is joined by Alex, also a founding member of the One River Tea Cooperative. We talk about our adventures in making white tea, the attempts, the mistakes, the failures, the victories, and the eventual brown shoumei tea cake we pressed and gave away earlier this year. Alex shares some interesting first-hand experiences of brewing tea in the traditional way: with a tea jar. And Derek shares the secrets on how he made the his beautiful micro batch of green shoumei. As always, all the teas talked about are available on the Onerivertea.com website, so be sure to support us with an order if you’re enjoying the podcast!
