72 Tasting Notes
This was a pleasant surprise, especially since I oversteeped it like crazy! I definitely will drink it again, though I think for simplicity I will stick to the boxed tea when I get Orange Pekoe again. I just don’t notice too much of a difference in taste!
Preparation
This is such a disappointing tea for me! I bought a small sample size, and LOVED it – it was so delicious! So I went back a week later and bought a tin. Unfortunately, it must have been a different batch, because it tastes so much different then the sample. It’s just not as delicious! While it might deserve a higher rating, my disappointment knocks it down :). I will definitely try a new batch, but I’ll have to remember to purchase it immediately if I like it again!
Preparation
This was the first pu’erh that I’ve tried, and while I liked the smell of the dry leaves, when I prepared it the tea smelt like a barn. It didn’t taste awful, but the smell of the tea while I was sipping it was very much a turn off. I would try another kind of pu’erh tea, but not this one again!
Preparation
Good, but too light for my taste. I will try again with more tea in the cup! I think I prefer the Sencha to this one.
I did a second infusion for another minute and about a half teaspoon more of tea. The flavour was a bit stronger and more pleasant, but I still liked the Sencha more. Will happily finish the bag though!
