Erik Ellestad<p>2018 Carefree from Xizihao Daughter Tea is a very nice young sheng, medium compression. Flavor rather quiet, clean, only subtle bitterness and slight astringency, even pushed. Energy similarly calming, no harsh edges.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>2010 Golden Leaf Huang from Xizihao Daughter Tea. Huang (pian) is made from tea leaves that are sorted out during the production process, usually because they are too developed, too large, or for other aesthetic reasons.</p><p>Some vendors will posit Huang Pian as a good way to try teas from regions whose teas are expensive. </p><p>On the other hand, Huang Pian leaves tend to have different flavor characteristics from the leaves that are chosen to be used for actual raw puerh. They also are distinct in how they can be brewed and how they age.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HuangPian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HuangPian</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>Xizihao Daughter mostly sells raw puerh, but they also sell ripened puerh and the odd Black tea batch. I don't know much about this 2022 "Wild Black" other than it is from "Unmanaged Gardens" somewhere in Vietnam. It has the fruity character I associate with Yunnan sun dried black tea and good durability/length of flavor. A good zippy morning cup.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BlackTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HongCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HongCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>In 2019 and 2020, Xizihao Daughter released white and black wrapper "Taiji" raw puerh teas from "Unmanaged Gardens" in Banzhang Laozhai meant to evoke their famous 2006 Laobanzhang Taiji releases. The 2020 black wrapper version I am trying today is a very nice young puerh but currently at a quiet phase in its flavor evolution. Beautiful after taste and wonderful energy.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NoKings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoKings</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>"Dragon Cake" (2018) is another younger raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter. Not as muscular as Drunk, nor as floral-complex as Spreading Joy. A nice middle between the two. (The piece I got in the sample is ridiculously dense, includes a bit of the notch on the back of the cake.)</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>Taiwan based Xizihao Daughter has even more opaque tea names and descriptions than White2Tea. For a long time they didn't even have a website. To be honest, I am not really sure how to differentiate their teas beyond price. They do have very nice tea wrappers. I can tell you I enjoy their 2018 Spreading Joy raw puerh more than their 2018 Drunk raw puerh.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>

Erik Ellestad<p>Like I need another tea company with obscure naming and opaque sourcing, but here I am drinking a sample of 2016 "Oddly Confused" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea. A clean feeling raw Puerh with soft flavors, mild astringency, little bitterness, and good energy. My general thought is, it's good now, but it would be better after 5-10 more years in their Taiwan storage.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengCha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengCha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Puerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Puerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>

Erik Ellestad<p>2017 "Laowushan" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter is surprisingly mellow for its relatively young age.

Erik Ellestad<p>Xizihao Daughter "Oddly Confused" 2016 Raw Puerh Tea. Xizihao Daughter is a Taiwan based tea supplier who (mostly) specializes in puerh. Artistic labels, unusual names, mysterious origins, fairly expensive teas, quasi luxury trappings. (Sound familiar?) I picked up a sampler of some of their young-middle aged puerh. "Oddly Confused" is good now and I can kind of see where it is going. I bet it will be really good in a few years once it completely settles in to it's flavors, but it isn't there yet.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/XizihaoDaughterTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XizihaoDaughterTea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShengPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShengPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RawPuerh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RawPuerh</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cha</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DailyTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyTea</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/tea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tea</span></a></span></p>
Erik Ellestad<p>2016 Dragon Ball Black Tea from Xizihao Daughter Tea. A bud heavy Yunnan style black tea that drinks (and brews) more like a raw puerh with some wet storage character.
