That sounds strange, tart apple and licorice in a puerh. Maybe my imagination can’t imagine this.

I was so happy to see a review of this brand as I received a cake from one of my Chinese students and found it difficult to identify in the states. She said it was part of a set of 4 regional cakes – mine was BADA I think. No English anywhere on the label.

love these small cakes. perfect for use in the kamovje tea pot. i like the taste of these the cassia is a background note with a touch of sweet at the end. about a 20 second wash to get the leaves rehydrated. i break the cake so the wash goes faster.

wow this little cake has blown my mind! i got 7 infusions from it before it finally gave up. smooth in all aspects one i will purchase again. the only downfall is about 20 us for 100 gram cake.

drank Blood Orange by Adagio Teas

a strong blood orange taste. i think it kind of overpowers the tea in the cup. tart and puckery on the back of your tongue. i have a friend that i gave a sample to and they like it much more than . i guess if i drank it more it would grow on me.
