This is the first pu-erh tea that I’ve tried, and I like it! In the past I’ve disliked plain black teas (although I might be changing my taste), and pu-erh is reminiscent of black tea but definitely has a richer, more complex flavor. For my first cup I had it with some rock sugar and it was great. For my second cup I resteeped the leaved (without adding more sugar) and had some cream, and it was okay; either I didn’t steep it long enough or I just don’t like it with cream.
I’m excited to try other pu-erh teas now. I’ve also been to Yunnan, China, which makes this kind of fun (although I didn’t have any pu-erh tea while I was there! Only green and jasmine, I think).
(Tea from silentrequiem. Thanks!)
