This pu erh smells smokier than it tastes. The initial flavor is fairly smooth and is not nearly as bitter as I expected.
The smokiness fades as the tea is steeped more and longer steep times seem to bring out a stronger more prune-like flavor.
As the bold flavor and smokiness starts to fade in much later steepings the remaining smoothness reminds me of chocolate drink I’ve had from a Chocolate bar that was made extra thick with soy milk.
