Shmiracles drank Aloha Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA

every time i’m about to steep this, i think of momo’s review:

“why did they think this was okay to make?”

it has an oily top coat. probably from the candied fruits. or the white chocolate more likely.
it’s not as awful as all that. but really a puerh can be so much better than this.

Too true!

umm, this has gotten a bit weirder since it’s cooled down. or maybe it’s cuz i’ve eaten lunch and i’m not starving?
oh god i HOPE this is NEVER someone’s first puerh. that would be the saddest story ever.

I feel like I probably made so many people afraid of this, but just thinking about it, I can remember that oil sheen off the top and the smell… /shudder/

also I totally meant shudder but I am still internally terrified and forget how to do all the fancy text tricks on here when thinking about this again.

I wrote the review for this one, then decided it sounded too harsh and just deleted it. Now if only I could delete that taste from my memory.
