I tried this a while ago and when I did, I had added it to a Chai tea so I came back to this one and tried it with no additives.
This Pu-erh is in little individual disks and is the only Pu-erh I have tried.
I did a quick rinse on the little disk w/ my boiling water then steeped for 2 minutes, forty-five seconds.
The liquor that is created is very thick and dark,,,very molasses in appearance and scent.
The taste is rich, hot blackstrap molasses on a whole wheat roll. It has a sweet smell but not taste. It is not bitter but definitely a black coffee type flavor. Black coffee drinkers would love this one,,,it is rich, thick, and bold. As it cools, I catch the cocoa notes but an unsweetened very dark chocolate,,,the 86% cocoa no sugar dark chocolate.
