The steeped cup has a lovely deep black/red color with a wonderful dark aroma. The liquor is very smooth and thick (almost brothlike), with great depth and richness to the flavor. It also has a slight sweet note, with no harshness or astringency.
Okay, I think I can officially say now that I like pu-erh tea! It’s all…heavy and tasty and has that interesting flavor-kick at the end. Mmm.

Thank you, Angrboda!
Oh yes, this is more like it. This another of the teas that I got from EvaPeva.
After a 30 seconds steep this is already almost as black as coffee and the aroma is all full of earthy goodness.
Ouch, bit too hot, though.
Compared to that awful green stuff, this is the nectar of the gods. On it’s own, though, I’m not really getting anything out of this first steep other than standard pu-erh. It does taste like there might be a lot of steeps in it. The sort of leaves that you could keep using all day without any noteworthy change in flavour or intensity.
