Coffee Pu'erh

This wasn’t a winner for me. I found that the coffee made it more bitter and sour than I like my tea. I generally wouldn’t put milk in my tea but this called for it. I might as well just get a coffee instead of drinking this one.

I woke up feeling exhausted and shaky this morning; I had forgotten I had a bag of this tea in my cupboard and figured it was exactly the right morning for it! I like it a lot. It’s very warm and comforting (of course, I mean it as more than the hot water kind of warm…). Very caffeinated, too, as you can guess from the name. If, like me, you are used to several cups of coffee per day along with your teas and infusions, it shouldn’t be a problem.
The taste is a little smokey, very earthy. Along with the coffee, there’s also a little cocoa and caramel, but it’s not overly sweet in a way lots of teas from DAVID’s are. It’s strong, but smooth, like a careful bear hug from a friend wearing a very cozy sweater. It wasn’t quite enough to wake me up this morning – perhaps because I lacked time to finish my cup – but it was a true comfort. I’d recommend it as a nice dessert tea, or for especially rough mornings.

First drinking a pu’erh tea, so I didn’t know what to expect. The first time I steeped it, it was so dark like a black coffee. The first sip was very strange – I couldn’t put my finger on it. I usually like fruity teas so I don’t add any sweeteners. I had some International Delight Caramel Macchiato, which I added that to this tea and it made a huge difference. I loved this mix.

I steeped it a second time and liked it even more. I would love to try this iced.

I really love this tea. It’s quite unusual, and I’d say a bit of an acquired taste. As a coffee drinker, I like having this as a slightly less-than another cup of coffee option. While it is caffienated, it doesn’t generate the same buzz as another coffee would. I find I have to be careful with the amount of tea, and the time I steep – it’s easy to go to far with this tea – it can get uglybitter. But there’s a lovely richness to it that can warm up a cold work morning quite nicely.

I wasn’t a huge fan of this tea. The chocolate taste was overpowering the coffee taste and didn’t make it a good combination.

Long story short: I was expecting more.

This was my first experience with pu’erh tea… so in that sense, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But in terms of flavor, I was disappointed. To me, it didn’t come off as tasting like coffee at all. I could taste the caramel, but everything was so subtle. I received this tea as a single-serving sampler, and I’m wondering if more than a teaspoon and a half should have been brewed in my mug, in order to get the whole experience?

I wouldn’t mind trying it again. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t overly special, for me.

Mild taste of hazelnut or almonds… Great one.

So delicious! Just smell it’s like a cafe moka. I had to give up coffee but was addicted to Starbuck’s mokas. I discovered this tea and it’s awesome. I call it my Monday tea :) I steep it strong and like it with a bit of milk.

I like it, this tea is dark and intense and actually resembles coffee.

It’s been awhile since i tried a pu er tea, i am generally not very open to these teas even after hearing of all the health benefits they offer. The main reason, they normally taste like farm or rather it just reminds me of being in a barn with decomposing hay or whatever. I drink coffee, I love coffee just as much as tea; and i like to drink it black normally.

This tea, has subtle taste of caramel that comes along with very dark colour…. it looks like coffee! I’d say the second steeping is just as good as the first. It’s very drinkable when it cools down (more so than cold coffee), and is just slightly sweet.
I guess you would say that coffee is bitter and that this should be bitter, but it really doesn’t bother me. What is good also is that I did not taste any chocolate either, not a big fan of trying to use chocolate to make things taste of coffee but here, it doesn’t seem to do much harm

Overall, very drinkable pu er tea.

I love this flavour from David’s Tea next to Buttered Rum. Actually I went to the West 4th location in Vancouver to buy some more of the Buttered Rum flavour but I wasn’t surprise as I was told it was sold out. The tin labelled Coffee Pu’erh caught my eye and so I decided to purchase 30grams.
This is great with a dash of sugar and a splash of milk. As mentioned in the other reviews, steep for a about 2 to 3 minutes. But what I love about this is that you have a mix of chocolate and caramel that you would usually find in flavoured coffee. As I am not a coffee drinker, I am so happy to find that David’s Tea has come up with such a great flavour for tea drinkers. Again…..hands down to David’s Tea!! I have about 15 flavours and share them at work. Now my coworkers are addicted!!

Tasty tea – heavy on the coffee and chocolate flavors, plus earthy tea. Much preferable to plain Pu-erh, in my opinion. Makes for a really dark tea as well – looks almost like coffee, even when steeped for only a few minutes.

First time drinking Pu’erh and it was Amazing! Rich earthy flavour, you could really taste the coffee, and a hint of chocolate but the caramel was lost. Excellent with a splash of milk.
