This was a fun tea to try. It was very sweet, fruity, with some vanilla and oak flavors. The tea was very smooth, and left my mouth with a cool spearmint-like sensation. I wasn’t that fond of this tea at first, but by the second cup, I was really enjoying it. This is the one puerh that I am tempted to add sweetener to.

Sweetening intensified the bourbon to me.pretty strong on that first steep!
Next time I brew some I will see how it is with some sugar. Maybe brown sugar?
Maybe honey?
Brown or regular sugar…sometimes honey has it’s own flavor and alters things. I’d try a lighter sugar first, even agave.
Thanks, Bonnie!
They’re selling in the shop here and talking about doing something similar with a local distillery. Wouldn’t it be fun.
If your local shop does wind up doing a barrel-aged puerh, I hope you’ll write about it!
