Picked this up the other day at the Asian market. It is bagged, but right off, the “earthy” word comes to mind with the aroma in the cup and the first taste. The earthiness reminds me of mushrooms, truffles maybe but it is subtle. There are hints of hibiscus maybe? A small trace of menthol, hard to pinpoint. What ever it is, it does not linger, just is present then absorbed in the rest of the flavor.
This was my first ever Pu-erh and it is unlike anything I have ever tasted. Many mysteries yet to unravel with it…
