This tea arrived today from Amazon—yay!
This brews a shade lighter then the Teas Etc. pu’erh I have now. The scent is very much like a tablet of Ibarra chocolate from Mexico—which is a dry, bittersweet, cinnamon-infused cocoa. I don’t taste much of the earthy puerh—I get mostly the cocoa—but the earthiness is in there somehow adding depth. I would describe this tea as a bittersweet, “powdery” tasting cinnamon cocoa (not chocolate—which (obviously) is smoother and creamier) with a lingering sugariness (due to the rooibos?). When the liquid cools, a hint of woodsy mushroom appears and the earthiness becomes more pronounced. And I could detect a hint of citrus.
In short, this is yummy and very easy to drink. Try this if you’re at all a fan of chocolate…especially dark chocolate.

I don’t get mushroom from this… thank God:)
lol! It’s my synonym for “earthy”…so it’s not majorly "mushroom*—more like a mild “non-threatening” button mushroom (which, to me, doesn’t really taste like a mushroom at all). :)
Because of your notes, I felt compelled to try this tea—and I’m glad I did! Thank you! :)
No thanks needed- your tasting notes are enough!=D
