Did a quick rinse before making two cups of this. Brews up dark, smells very sweet and wet earthy and dark. The taste is smooth and mild with a little damp earth and fruit and maybe a little sweet grass.
I don’t think I’m ever going to love pu-erh – the type of sweetness it has seems to be a bit darkly fruity for me to really enjoy, like dried plums or raisins. I tend to gravitate toward lighter or floral sweetnesses. Regardless, I think this is a good tea. Nothing I’m going to crave (since it’s pu-erh) but enjoyable nonetheless.

Oh, I’m always looking for good pu-erhs. This sounds tasty, I think I’ll put it in my shopping list :)
Maybe try raw pu-erh? Carolyn had some good reviews. I can’t recommend any, because I haven’t had it either, but it sure looks interesting. :)
I just tried my first raw pu-erh yesterday, and posted a review. What a crazy tea! I wonder if you’d like it more, Auggy. Thus far, I do prefer cooked.

I’ve had this on my shopping list for quite a while.. thank you for reminding me :)
Based on some of Carolyn’s reviews, I do want to try raw pu-erh for sure! It sounds like it is pretty different from the cooked stuff so I’m willing to give it a go!
