The first time I tried this, I was quite sick and couldn’t even smell the leaves, let alone taste it.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I opened the package and inhaled deeply. I can’t believe I couldn’t smell it before! Very minty. The good kind of mint, though; also smelling sweet and a bit spicy. I am very excited to try this again!
The tea is a dark rust color. I can smell both puerh and mint. First sip is very minty. I have had minty teas before that were just disgusting; this one is sweet and pleasant! The cinnamon in this blend is just right. Just a few sips in and I am enjoying this very much.
Second steep +30 sec. A little darker in color than the first steep. Still smells minty but more of the puerh is coming through. Taste wise it’s the same way. There’s a bit more earthiness coming through but the mint is still the first thing I taste.
This is delicious!

I steeped this all afternoon and it never lost flavor! That’s awesome!!
This stuff is amazing like that. During summer I would cold steep the same leaves several days in a row, and then hot brew it before it lost its flavor!
