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.
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!
