Wow, I ordered this fully expecting to drink it as a “health” tea because pu’erh for me really helps me when I am having digestion problems but I really wanted a high quality pu’erh that would taste good. Because I really don’t want to drink something that I don’t enjoy when I am sick.
For me, sometimes pu’erhs are too “earthy” and sometimes the mushroom notes take it too far down the road of weird for me. However, this pu’erh is a different story.
This tea is sweet and lovely like a white tea, yet not floral. I am mostly getting slightly fruity notes, like a green apple. There is a touch of pine in there as well. A tad bit of spice rounds out the flavour.
I am surprised by the complexity and sweetness of this tea. I am also surprised at how much I truly enjoyed this tea!
I did a quick rinse first.
I had time for 2 resteeps today at 4 and 5 minutes. They were just as gorgeous as the first.
I also think this would make a very good iced tea.
