It’s times like this that I think Puer isn’t for me. I like it on occasion, but it’s not something I’m super into. Most puer makes me think of a wet cave… in a good way. The flavors of this are pretty mellow and it’s nice, but it doesn’t excite me the way other types of tea do. I feel like there is a whole section of tea enjoyment I’m missing out on!
I hear you on this. I can appreciate pu’erh sometimes when I’m in the right mood, but it does not get me the same way basically any other tea (camellia sinensis-based) does.
I struggle with oolongs in a similar way, but not to the extent of puers. :/
