Some of the other reviewers loved this tea. I thought it was rather drab. I don’t know if that is because I don’t appreciate subtlety as much as some or if my tea-bag (sent to me as part of a holiday letter) was old. I got the earthy taste, but could not pick up on the promised overtones.
I know that Numi has some enchanting bagged teas so I might try to revisit this was a bag I know is new. I’ve had other teas that do earthy and chocolate-y in a much more intensely pleasing way.

Probably the only Pu Erh that anyone will ever get me to try. Except for maybe GM Pu Erh Chai… but only because it’s chai.
Puerhs can be substantially different than the ones you seem to have tried. For example, many puerhs brew up dark with a heavy earthy aroma. (And this is what I’ve mostly seen sold by non-puerh focused tea companies. But other puerhs brew up into light, golden sweet tasting liquors tasting of honey and other sweet things. They’re more similar to oolongs or yellow or white teas.
The only one I’ve tried is Adagio’s Pu Erh Dante.
