I really wanted to love this tea but something did not click on our first date. Which is strange, because this puerh does display many positive traits: a fairly complex taste with no funkiness, decay or excessive bitterness, a pleasant long aftertaste, resistance to over-steeping…
It just that I did not see any appreciable personality and uniqueness in it. Nothing controversial, eccentric, charmingly odd. This tea was assiduously virtuous, proper and careful about not displaying any negatives. You cannot go wrong with it but you will never get excited either. And why bother then?
So, no second date for this one.Flavors: Citrus Zest, Coffee, Dark Chocolate, Herbs, Mineral

Yeah, I red your review before trying – thus the expectations. It’s just this puerh and me were not meant to be.
Oh, I love whenever someone writes notes about this old goat. I love his one. I only have a little bit left from a teabox sample. I’m sorry you didn’t like it! An 85 rating sounds pretty high to me though.
