Getting Tea Drunk on a NEW White Tea Collection - Simple Dreams

[@ericvault]

Adding your daugter to the artwork is adorable. Love the family involvement in your company. You seem a man worth supporting. 👍 Keep going.

[@JoshTerraMusic]

I'm back baby. I've been steeped on the world of fine Whisk(e)y but on my quarterly dry week I've rediscovered my love of Tea. Time to binge Mei Leaf videos!

[@MeiLeaf]

Welcome back!

[@Mr.Lukas333]

I really like the artwork for this tea and can’t wait to try it myself. I will get a few of these cakes

[@justins7711]

I must say, I'm surprised at how helpful the photos alongside tasting notes are. I have not seen those on your videos before, but I've mostly been watching older ones so far. Hope this idea continued. Never knew folks were aging white tea, may have to give this a try.

[@mossy.forest.fae.]

bought this tea a few months ago and finally bought some humidity packets to start aging it properly! very excited to see how it turns out in a few years

[@lesliedddawson]

It’s my first time to try your tea. I’m excited. Thanks.

[@maksspiga1106]

obsessed with crocodiles... yes, I remember a video in which she tasted a tea and said it tasted like a crocodile 🙂

[@beth.7]

I find them a bit scary. 😉 But that may be my Peter Pan nature. I also remember that video btw. 😍

[@martin-nr5id]

It must have some bite to it.

[@orangeblack1285]

I adore the cover. Makes me wish I had a cake stored away but all I have left is a single session from the tester. Simple dreams 2 is acclimating already though :)

[@hannahseasoul]

I love the artwork on this one!! I placed an order with Mei Leaf yesterday just before the release of this one, so naturally I had to place another order today.

[@reubenk1615]

It'll catch you off guard. Watch for Saturday releases before finalizing an order.

[@hannahseasoul]

@@reubenk1615 I will remember that for next time!

[@prozoisthebest5843]

These videos are so relaxing

[@jsandppr]

@MeiLeaf - Don - Would you recommend keeping the cakes in their wrappers and artwork as-received for aging (inside an airtight container with a humidity packet), or should any of the wrappers be removed? Didn’t see the answer to this in your other video where you concluded the 60-65% packets were best. BTW, I’m in very-dry Denver, CO USA. Thanks!

[@forteandblues]

Looks great! Can’t wait till I get a job again!

[@desertfox432]

Sounds like a great cake! This made me break out the JSV. It's been a while since down the psychonaut river.

[@yesfinallygot1]

Aged Whites are my absolute favorite. Getting a tong of this for my next shipment, for sure!

[@beth.7]

This sounds so nice! I hope it’ll stay around until I can order again. The tasting notes made me think of Midsummer Lightshow‘s marzipan and rum. 😇

[@charlesperez9976]

I look forward to this tea,it sounds beautiful. I will enjoy one precious cake,then try again in maybe 2025. We will see how well my palate has evolved. See you in Camden town ,in September!

[@someonerandom256]

It reminds me a lot of one of your peony white bai mu dan teas that I've had, but I can't remember if it's White Peony or or King Peony.

[@alextanell7770]

Ordered the cake) Hope it gets fast to me, must try it

[@joaofeiteira6309]

Wow, that weighing scoop looks much better than the usual cheap looking Chinese precision scales

[@Grayson.P]

Can anyone remember or point me to the videos made about using the Boveda packets for storing/aging tea again. I'll be moving to a bit more humid of an environment soon, and want to refresh myself on which ones were best to use. And the best way to store tea with them.

[@azul_rosales]

Amazing

[@Nestoras_Zogopoulos]

Just as I got me some ya bao, perfect!

[@saultopaul3981]

So Anji is the only white tea I've had. I love it! Knowing that, is there another leaf you might point me to for my next tea?? I'm a tea newbie. Thnx

[@MeiLeaf]

If you are referring to Anji Bai Cha then this is actually a Green tea. I have made a video about this tea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJPIkIedZrqsm5I Similar green worth trying are: Monkey Picked: meileaf.com/p/tea-mkpc/ Fur Peak: meileaf.com/tea/fur-peak/ Also you could try Yellow Tea: meileaf.com/teas/yellow/ White Teas are a very different taste - maybe pick up some White Peony as a relatively affordable dip into White tea and graba sample of Simple Dreams for a more aged taste. meileaf.com/teas/white/

[@beth.7]

Concerning the flowers: freesia, white hyacinths, Lily of The Valley?

[@SimpleSlyman]

Hi. Was there a follow up to the video where you broke up a whole cake and stored some in a ziplock? I just ordered some of this and wondered what the result was versus the ongoing oxidation

[@beth.7]

Yes, about a year ago. … But another follow up would be very interesting indeed.

[@SimpleSlyman]

@@beth.7 Thanks, I found it

[@trout3685]

Noob question. Is there a way to make a large batch of quality tea? Can you keep it warm for hours and drink it throughout the day?

[@darraghchapman]

This sounds right up my street! Is it available in your Camden shop now? Finally got to visit a few days ago, it's my first time back in England since I was six or seven years old, and you always prompt me to pop in at the end of your videos; how could I not! Really pleasant welcome from the staff, took my time savouring Young Gushu '22 and picked up your dong ding and yunnan '96 shu pu'er tuo on my way out. I may be back tomorrow to try Simple Dreams if I don't melt on the way there!

[@MeiLeaf]

Yes they were there yesterday.

[@MeiLeaf]

Thanks for coming by and I am happy that you enjoyed the experience

[@cheyneturbyfill4727]

Do you ship international? I absolutely love your presentations, by closing my eyes and focusing I can almost get a faint taste myself.

[@jimmychristensen7112]

Normaly i drink white tea ( japanese ) from a Gaiwan. Can i drink this white tea in a yixing teapot? I notice that this tea require quite hot water, so i guess it should be ok??

[@MeiLeaf]

yes no problem

[@jimmychristensen7112]

@@MeiLeaf thank you 👍 i think i will get a tong then. And thank you for making such interesting videos 🙏 i am learning a lot and it took my joy of tea to a new level. Please keep up the good work 🙂

[@BreadTubeOfficial]

*How many grams used, you did?*

[@spicytender1832]

I really want to come pick up a cake or two of this! How long do your supplies last generally? I'd love to come visit the store rather than order online.

[@MeiLeaf]

They are selling quickly but we have a good sized batch so I think that it will last for several months.

[@benmoore7946]

magnolia might be the flower around 18:00 (I am not a flower expert)

[@Lost-Alkahestry]

Hey Don, greetings from Canada. I was wonder if you or anyone else who has knowledge on how properly age tea. I've been want to try and attempted it but not knowing how to start.

[@MeiLeaf]

For White tea I would advise watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH-WdXyMd7R6eM0 For PuErh, this video is best although it does need updating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTVl5yOi76dm9E

[@PiratesDockingSix]

How much humidity do you need for the aging process?

[@MeiLeaf]

recommend 60-70%. Any higher and it will age faster but may not have the same depth.

[@Murkrust]

Dunno how I got here, but I enjoyed watching while sipping green tea with peppermint :P

[@mathiaskirkbonde2758]

Down the rabbit hole you go :D

[@rorisdoodles9862]

Am I the only one who had no idea that aged white tea was a thing? I’ve only ever bought fresher white tea leaves, mainly loose leaf silver needle. I’ve also never seen white tea in cake form like that. I thought only puer came in the compressed cakes.

[@MeiLeaf]

Aged White Tea is relatively new (around 10 years) but is a great way to transform Whites.

[@PontusPresents]

Hi, Don!

[@MeiLeaf]

Hey

[@_Brohan]

truly a beautiful wrapper artwork! BUT IT'S ALREADY SOLD OUT NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! actually i'm stupid this video is 2 years old. omg.

[@MeiLeaf]

We have simple dreams 2 available

[@GFreeze1]

Looks like more of a gong mei rather than a mu dan or shou mei

[@MeiLeaf]

I reserve Gong Mei to describe Autumn picked tea although this a matter of contention.

[@kilgoretrout413]

😻

[@josedesilencio8851]

His tea seems has the effects of LSD in the way he describe the taste.

[@mehdiz805]

🐧👍

[@Kaaarist]

I'll probably pick this up as it's interesting enough, but I'd rather not have pictures of other people's children on my tea wrappers...

[@jamesw.9256]

Why not?

[@MeiLeaf]

Fair enough - we are planning to make this a series with other drawings of children (not just our daughter). The theme is dreamy and intriguing yet pure and simple to match the tea.
