I drink this when I’m looking for something closer to the more complete fermentation of a black tea, while still wanting a hint of the pu erh earthiness: Dian Hong always delivers. The aroma is indeed sweet smelling for a pu erh and the flavour speak of hints of chicory and perhaps black licorice. Energy is light and breezy.
I highly recommend this tea for those interested in trying pu erh, but have traditionally not liked it. This is a good tea; trust me.

I’m glad I bought a bit of this tea. I’ve drank very few pu-ehrs, but I’d like to become more familiar with that type of tea.

@Jillian: This is definitely a good pu erh to transition into pu erh with because it bridges the gap between pu erh and black tea.
