Sorry but this smells really gross…like dirty socks.
It’s very dark brown in color.
Thankfully it doesn’t taste like it smells!
It’s Bold but not bitter and it’s an even taste that starts and ends the same. It’s probably one of the better loose leave blends of pu-erh that I have tried so far…if you can get past the stench! I only infused for about 2 minutes as others I have tasted I don’t like oversteeped thus far. I am far from an expert on pu-erh but this one is ok in my book.
Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C
2 min, 0 sec
Did you rinse it 1st?
Not well…lol…
dirty sock tea is no bueno.
I find it’s easier to ignore the stench of bad smelling tea if I use my travel mug. It doesn’t always help but it did yesterday with the cherry cola black tea.
