Tried this when I got home after dinner as an evening treat since it arrived today in the mail. My first pu erh. I did not use the first steep, but tried the second and the third.
Smells of hay bales, not unpleasantly so. Taste was quite light, though distinct, given the very dark liquor. Probably did not use enough – I used one “hat” in almost a litre of water. Schrader recommends using 3 per litre. Hmmm. Might try that some other time.
Certainly not something I would drink every day, but a treat after rich food on cold days, or as a pleasantly earthy breakfast drink.
