Important note: This is the only Pu erh I have ever had.
The tea looks pretty and smells strongly of oranges. It makes me want to drink it so bad. Almost in a naughty way.
The taste does not live up to the scent, which I find to be the case for every blood orange tea I’ve ever had. For some reason, I don’t ever learn my lesson.
Thing is, it’s not a bad tea in any way. There is a very pleasant tangy orange flavor that makes me want more. There’s a rather strong earthy note that is probably present in every Pu erh tea and I just don’t know it. The earthy note reminds me quite a bit of spring and fall. Things growing, dying, going to sleep, waking up, transitions and all that.
I enjoy it more way hot than iced, but I’m happy to drink it either way.
