A tea bag Pu-erh. I am always very, very sceptical. Moreover, this one was from Hong Kong. At least they say so. Steeped for 4 minutes (suggestion was 3-5 minutes).
Yep,
fishy aroma. Wet and decaying wood. But weirdly, it is somehow pleasant. Or at least not making me sick. Colour turned to quite copper; dark, brown and clear. Hey, maybe it ´s not going to be bad. At least so bad as I had some tea bag pu-erhs in past.
In taste it is woody. But nothing much else. One-dimensional. So – in concusion, it is drinkable, but probably not worth another steepings, boring, tea. It even does not remain for long in mouth. Yep.
I do not recommend due to boring flavour profile. It is not super bad, I finished the cup and it is without any really bad flavours or aromas. But boooring.
I’ve never been brave enough to try bagged pu-erh, myself.
