I grabbed this from the drawer because I wanted some Pu-erh without having to break it off a cake. Probably around 7 grams or so per cake, and easy to handle.
I found it to be both pleasant and generous. Several rich mahogany infusions off the cube so far, and the latter seem to be a bit sweeter than the first, but all were very nice. Earthy, but sweet – like a light molasses. Only slightly musty, not at all unpleasant. Smells more like a barn at the feed end of the cow instead of the other…
I have several more of these cubes from a Teavivre Pu-erh sampler, and will definitely put this on my ever-growing reorder list.

John drinks the ripened mini tuo cha by the case, I think! He requests it for Christmas. We haven’t tried the mini bricks but I bet they are similar. Nice review! Especially the part about the cow…
I fear my introduction to pu-ehr is going to wreck any sense of budget I held onto.
That is an understatement. There are enablers all over this site….Ashmanra is only one of them….
Mrmopar – thanks to you and Dan, there is more puerh on its way. You see, I was being a good friend and sending him your ratings list, when I decided to check out some of your recommendations from berylleb on eBay, and one thing led to another…talk about enabling! :)
…and now I’ve shared it with others, and they’ve asked where to get it. Like the leaves themselves, this puerh just keeps on giving.
I know and I enable myself sometimes too.
I love having a place here where we all understand each other! Heehee
