I like this. I like it quite a bit. The flavor of the Pu-erh is rather light, I don’t get a strong earthy flavor (or aroma) from it. The rose is also quite subtle. Sweet and alluring.

Overall, I would say that this is quite an uncommon pu-erh, very light in comparison to others that I’ve tried. Sweet, woodsy, floral and very pleasant.

More infusions to follow!

My second cup (the combination of the 3rd and 4th infusion) brewed up considerably darker than the first cup, and the flavor is a bit more assertive as well. It isn’t overly earthy though, but there are some earthy flavors in there, mingling with the woody tones that I noted in the first cup. The floral tones are still there. This cup actually tastes a bit like coffee to me, except it doesn’t have the coffee bitterness and astringency… more like a very smooth, rich tasting coffee. It’s quite nice.

LiberTEAS

My third and final cup… wow! This one is my favorite of the three cups. It isn’t quite as dark as the second, but darker than the first. It is remarkably smooth. Sweet. Certainly one of the best rose teas I’ve yet to taste.

Might be worth trying. Since the one Tuocha I tried was too corneeeeeee and onioneeee; depicting nachos & Tortillas; all food I don’t like or have not consumed. Sorry!

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:

http://52teas.com

I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
