I was pretty skeptical about trying this. I thought that there wouldn’t be any way that something stuffed inside an orange could become so fishy. I made sure to give the tea a couple of extra rinses before consuming the third steep; however, the fishy smell increases and the taste is similar to old socks (I’m assuming) and anchovies. I’m sorry to those individuals who I questioned, but I’ve been skeptical about trying a tea before, to which everyone claimed that it was pungent, yet, I enjoyed it (actually, it was my first time having a cup of pu-erh at Teavana, that every employee, excluding me, hated).
Anyway, it’s true. This is quite fishy.

oh you are tempting me to try!!! i dont mind fermentation flavor usually ;P
I rinsed it 4 more times after consuming the third cup. The initial flavor is a touch of citrus, but there’s still the fishy aftertaste on the tongue. It’s pretty odd.
ok you made me lol
Ha-ha! Happy tea sipping!
After reading a few reviews on this, I just took mine out of the plastic. I wonder if a week in the air will drive the fish away?
Let me know how that goes. Placed mine in a tin without the wrapper. I was going to leave for a few weeks or months before going back to it.
