This is my first time really trying a pu-erh other than Samovar’s Maiden’s Ecstasy. I have to say, this tastes much more “organic” than the former, and the bit about floral notes is completely true. I’m actually surprised as to how different this tastes, while still maintaining that typical “earthy” pu-erh charm.
I’m only on my first infusion so I may have to adjust the score later on, but as of right now I’m a bit turned off by the floral taste I’m getting. Perhaps after a few infusions it may go away.

It didn’t go away… and now I’m wondering if I’ll be able to cope with the overpowering taste for quite a few more tries until the bag runs out. Either that, or I’ll get used to it.

This tea is on my list of ones to drink. Will get to it after I use up the Sencha I have on hand.
