They Mad!!! | White2Tea | Raw Puerh
Tumblr media
I am very silly, and bought this mini because the reference on the wrapper made me laugh. I love Documentary Now. Maybe I’ll ramble about it over on instagram later, but for now I will talk about the tea itself. The description of this tea that W2T gives is interesting; they note the tea is made of some older material they were waiting to press. Once again, we are all left to ponder what this material exactly “is”, which W2T always leaves a mystery. Aroma hit me as punchy, at first. I was worried about the bitterness as the aroma seemed young and green. But, it also smells sweet, sugary, and fruity. It smells a lot like Yiwu, but I’m uncertain as W2T is a strange mysterious wizard with its sources. Liquor is gold, crisp, soft. Cloudier and thicker than some young sheng I’ve had recently. This tea is a treat for sweeter young puerh drinkers. It’s quite a special tea. Notes of jasmine, wood, and fresh fruit. Leaning a tad on the floral side rather than the fruity. Give this mini a try if it sounds good for you. Maybe snag a cake if you’re feeling ballsy. It’s a good one.

Pe Real-Time
Tumblr media
Thirst for Novelty
We receive from the explorer process the elation of new experiences; of sunset watching, cave diving, dancing, ocean sailing, travel and all sorts of fluid and rich activities. The explorer process wants to rediscover everything on its own. It may not be enough to view something in a book, since the greatest fulfillment comes in the real-time witnessing of life. Pe has an insatiable hunger for what comes next and can grow bored and restless in an environment that offers little opportunities for experimentation. The explorer process seeks animation and when a stagnant and texture-less “present” yields no such properties, they will venture elsewhere. But "elsewhere" need not be a physical location, as Pe types will also have the highest curiosity for new concepts, ideas, theories and interpretations of life. They may dabble with information structures, trying them on consecutively until finding their favorites. Yet, because this thirst is permanently embedded within Pe, it is not in it's nature to ever be fully satisfied for long. They may eventually abandon their present engagements to once again pursue new avenues and discover what has now entered into global attention.
Tumblr media
Plasticity
This gives Pe a contemporary focus, allowing it to be up to date but also to pivot quickly whenever necessary. It carries an enormous capacity for flexibility and improvisation. Being "too old for new tricks" is never the case for Pe due to its refresh factor which metabolizes the world anew each moment. Learning a new job, task, skill, language or exercise is always plausible and in the worst case scenario older abilities are simply forgotten with time. In this sense Pe can be quite unlimited, as it gives the person an ability to reinvent themselves endlessly. But this plasticity can also have an unsettling effect, especially when this continual reinvention causes a loss of personal identity. The rate at which Pe can adapt to reality may leave it wondering about it's core essence, what they most cherish, what career is best suited for them and what kind of partner they really want. They will be vulnerable to surrender to the transience of life, flowing with all its currents, only to wash up ashore in a life they neither expected or wanted. But Pe also gives types a capacity to recover from hardships, to maintain hope and to keep on swimming.
Tumblr media
Sense of Humor
This function also generates a special talent for humor, with Pe-leads being the most highly represented in the domain of comedy. Pe's situational awareness allows for quick improvisational thinking, leading to success in anything from stand-up comedy to freestyle rap. A key focus of the Pe function is entertainment, both in what it gravitates to and what it's own activity creates. Above all else Pe enjoys the experience of surprise and amusement; the euphoric stimulation of an engaging situation. Thus, Pe can provide a great deal of energy toward raising the laughter of the present, often using itself as a resource or prop. The class clown is a quintessential exemplar of Pe's comical energy, as is the court jester or joker. Because humor is generated by the sudden inversion of our perceptions and expectations, it constitutes a contagious novelty which Pe will thirst after in the same way it does for any other information. This habit of humor often translates into an jolly, easygoing and enthusiastic personality that is known for bringing a spark of light into the room.
Tumblr media
Generative Ability
The essential role of Pe is the appreciation and introduction of new information into the world. It both seeks that information out but also participates in its renewed manifestation through a creative act. Pe is a creative function and is thus a key source of innovation and invention. The perpetual re-imagining of music, fashion, drama, art, and media owes its existence to Pe which forever revitalizes society. The street performer, the traveling musician, the trinket maker, the aerosol artist, the break-dancer, the gypsy, and the like -- are all varied iterations of a broader Pe narrative that collectively transforms and defines modern culture. However, this generative ability is also responsible for destabilizing the present societal structures. The heavier aspect of Pe can equally lead to disarray, disorder, and chaos as a byproduct of the disassembly of previous boundaries. Pe will flirt with danger as it explores uncharted territories, and stepping outside of the known societal structures can lead to delinquency, escapism, and intoxication.

2022 Lich Tears - Shou Puer from White2Tea
2022 Lich Tears – Shou Puer from White2Tea
Like getting grapefruit rind stuck in the back of your throat— in a good way This is elation. Like those first moments when I pedaled away from my parents. Training wheels discarded. Balanced obtained. Five-year-old-freedom. I’m barely conscious. It’s not my fault. I blame an ornery commitment to scratch cooking. The stuffing recipe alone takes just under three hours. The bread must be torn –…

Checking in with @crimsonlotustea 2016 Beneath an Emerald Sea sheng puerh! I’ve had a tong of this in my pumidor since summer 2017… this is the only cake I have cracked into, and this has had improper storage outside the pumidor for 1.5 years when I lived in Germany, so I wasn’t overly hopeful for it… but it is actually drinking really well (which excites me about the cakes stored well). Clearly has lost its young aroma, but by steep 3 it was deeply flavoured and thick bodied, youthful vegetal flavours still present, but a very prominent sweetness with very little astringency. Has a briney quality, and a little bitter cocoa nib vibe that I always loved… this combines with the sweetness to give something slightly reminiscent of salted caramel, which is actually great! Irish storage conditions are 15 - 22 C, 65 - 70 RH in my pumidor without added humidity. It is clearly developing a little, but I wouldn’t use the word “ageing” 😂 Excited for my second ever tong to arrive from @white2tea! #puerh #puer #sheng #raw #tea #china #chinese #pumidor #ageing (at Swords, Dublin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHvTHUtNlc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

15 Years Aged Golden Melon Ripe Tuo | Yunnan Sourcing
Tumblr media
This aged ripe has a strong energy and thick flavor. It’s now one of my favorites from Yunnan Sourcing! The wet leaf smells of wood, chocolate, and mashed berries. I may have a bias for aged shou, but the flavors are very pleasant. A nice broad wet wood flavor with hints of vanilla at the forefront. Behind it, there are notes of brown sugar and rich earth. This tea lasted me many steeps, however the tuo is tough to break apart. You will need a strong tea pick for this one! I found this shou to be a perfect example of what an aged ripe can be. If you’re planning on making a Yunnan sourcing order, and have never tried aged shou, this is the tea for you. It’s affordable, but is a lovely goalpost for new sippers.

Pe: Mythology
Humor: Sanguine
Historically, the moral character of the Pe type was best encapsulated by Humorism as the Sanguine temperament. Such a temperament was classified as enthusiastic, optimistic, playful, jovial but also imprudent, impulsive and indulgent. And while this does not capture the essence of Pe’s metabolism, it certainly describes the emotional states evoked by it when it is felt in excess. This temperament was thought to originate from having healthy and thick “blood” which, if we exercise some imagination to account for the medical ignorance of the age, represented youthfulness, vibrancy, vitality, animation and a ruddiness of the skin and cheeks. The sanguine temperament was affiliated with springtime, fertility and rebirth which corresponds properly with Pe's generative ability. As a character it was often depicted as a man playing a flute or instrument, and at other times as a dancer or lover wooing a woman. In terms of chronological age, it was affiliated with Infancy which corresponds to this functions' archetype of the Eternal Child.
Tumblr media
Archetype: Puer/Puella
In mythology, the explorer function is symbolically represented as the Puer/Puella archetype; a wayfaring eternal god-child that carries no shackles or responsibilities to life. The Puer roams the world freely, always on the move and on the lookout for new subjects to dally with. Because of this nomadic nature, making contact with this god is always a chance encounter, and can signal good fortune or the beginning of chaos. One example of the Puer can be seen in the story of Peter Pan, whose arrival foreshadows great adventures filled with magic and wonder. Another example of the Puer can be found in Pan, a half-goat Greek god of fertility and sex who roams the fields while playing music on his pipe and who incites crowds into mirth and dance. Pan is a depiction of the Trickster, who also appears as a crafty and mischievous fox/coyote who plays tricks on others simply for his own amusement. Unlike other gods who boast temples of worship and carry great power, the Puer is a different kind of deity which is easily underestimated. While not being physically strong, he relies on cleverness to upend things and get his own way. The Puer represents the necessary chaos that the world needs to function, and exists as an eternal challenge to the King's order.
