I’ve been drinking this on and off at work for about a week.
The official description mentions cinnamon – nope, Brussels sprouts (?!?) – nope – sandalwood incense – nope. And all of those nos makes me really happy.
IMHO and to my tastes, this is a really mild pu’erh. It’s not lacking in over all flavor, it’s just really gentle on the earthy, musty notes that I think of as pu’erh. This is more like an aged black to me. It’s more like a golden buds black with a hint of pu’erh. It’s smooth and gentle, you can steep it for a long time and it just gets deeper and deeper without getting nasty.
For me this is just FANTASTIC. I love it.

Very well stated! Sounds intriguing & appealing.
Yum!
