This tea is interesting because it tastes like a thick coffee, with hints of chocolate and also some bitterness here and there. It definitely gains some harshness as it cools, but while it’s still hot, it has an excellent flavor and really lovely aftertaste.
I think that this would give any die-hard coffee drinker whip lash. I wish I knew a few because I’d love to try to turn their heads by brewing some up for them. Alas, the only really dedicated coffee connoisseur I know was my ex-boyfriend, who moved to Alaska after we broke up.
Oh well. More shou for me! :p

Love the look of the wrapper on this one, and also the other ones you have reviewed. Really interested in getting a few samples, but where can you buy it from?? I looked up the company name and all I got was this site: http://www.dc-tea.net/index.php
I’m assuming this is the company, but don’t have a clue how to order lol. I suppose I could just contact them and ask…
OK, the easiest way is to contact O5Tea and get their puerh list emailed to you. The teas aren’t on their website, but I purchased them via email. JK Teas also has a few selections, with samples available, but the prices are steep.
And I haven’t tried it yet, but DC Teas has a Taobao page. If you’re interested in that option, I can send you a link. :)
Hey Sarsonator. I managed to find their Taobao page and they have a quite a lot of stuff, some at decent prices and some very expensive. Not too sure how I would purchase on Taobao as I think you need an agent if I am not mistaken. Will perhaps contact OSTea and ask for a puerh list.
