I’m down for any shu puerh that has chocolatey notes, so when I saw this one on W2T’s collection, I jumped at it. This is indeed an easy going drinker, but it isn’t one that inspires. It’s a little bit on the watery side, which isn’t to say that it’s bad, but the chocolatey notes come off as rather chalky in comparison to higher quality ‘gong ting’ productions which will have a milky chocolateness to it. In fact it sort of reminds me of those cheap advent calendar chocolates I would get in my Christmas stocking. Definitely nostalgic if anything.
Like most W2T shus, it is of a pretty uncomparable value, and thus if you enjoy the tea type you won’t balk at drinking this, even regularly. Would I buy a cake of it? Probably not, but I definitely will finish my set of minis.
Flavors: Chalky, Chocolate, Earthy
