I really wanted to like this. Years ago I tried a tea that I thought was pu-erh and loved it so when I saw this blend, I didn’t hesitate and bought my usual full 1/2 pound, thinking I would really enjoy this...but I cannot drink this. I must have been mistaken on what I had years ago because this was a completely different flavor and not one that agreed with my tastes. A very earthy, almost muddy taste, at least to me. If I hadn’t already thrown away the packaging as I love/use personalized tea tins, I would actually see about returning this, which is a first for me. So if you haven’t tried this blend before, highly recommend going the sample route as the flavor is very strong, unexpected and unusual.
