Is this $20 White2Tea Tea Cake Worth It? | Gingerbread Man Review
Ойын-сауық
Today we're looking at an ominous tea cake from the legendary White2Tea. We don't have any info on if its aged pu'erh or young, if it's from Xishuangbanna or Licang.
All we know is its a blended shou pu'erh, so let's see if it's worth buying as a $21 tea cake.

As somebody who has this cake I can absolutely recommend it. I got the Shoulloween tea cake bundle from them last year and the Gingerbread Man was in it. I found it the sweetest of the bunch. Sweet with a full mouthfeel and mellow earthiness. Super good value tea especially if you like shou puer.
Great review, would love to see more budget or everyday drinker tea reviews
You've gotta keep going, even with "the basics", your experience is so helpful to people just starting. Never heard anyone else talking about the taste profile in clay etc.
I just found about white2 tea from my Dr and I told him about one river tea. I plan to bring the Modern Nüwai got from one river to my next appointment to have a tea session during my appointment.

Wow what a story 🤯 That is SO cool.
Love the content!
Nice video bro! Keep it up!
I dig your tea content! Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing and unique content - never thought I’d find high quality tea reviews online!
Yes to comparisons between porcelain vs unglazed teapots! Since drinking teas, I've always just used a gaiwan, but the small teapots have such novelty to them, I always wondered if they did help with Puer as some people have told me they do
Loved how you went about this review very well done!!! Can't wait to see more reviews in the future!!

Thank you. 🙏🏻 The goal is to try and do one review a week. 🙃
First time watching, really good review. I like the part where you say that this is a good cake for someone new to pu erh but I think that you should follow up at some point with a comparison between an affordable shou and a higher quality one.
You know my Papa Jo was Chinese and a chef, he STRICTLY ONLY served jasmine wrapped oolong, it was prepared by a little old Chin florist, he started the first Chin restaurant in Dallas Tx with his father early 1900’s, he died before I was old enough to learn anything, my mom didn’t like cooking, in fact none of the kids did, but I love it, what I would’ve given to learn his technique
definitely do a comparison between porcelain and clay, might give some insight into how clay affects the brew
Will you be at the Cascadia tea event this year? I saw you as a sponsor.

Yes! Although it’s probably the tao of tea that is a sponsor. Admittedly our names are very similar haha
I have a funny comment for you,regarding drinking certain teas on an empty stomach. Put plainly:don’t! I have,and as I mentioned in a previous video,it can turn south,very suddenly!🙄 Here’s my handy dandy trick: You know those little packs of orange colored sandwich crackers with peanut butter in between? At the very least,eat a pack of them before the tea session. Trust me,it will cancel out the possibility of that empty stomach experience!
All shou tastes the same!? Blasphemy!! Haha nah, i know what you mean. I actually feel that was about young sheng.
