Additional notes: My sipdown of this one was so tasty, I just had to restock on my last order. Couldn’t help it. I was a BIT worried it wouldn’t be the same after so many years, and I’d say the coffee isn’t quite the same. Even upon opening the pouch, the aroma was more like a bitter, older coffee already, rather than the old blend which somehow seemed more sweet? Maybe I’m confused as to what “old” coffee smells like, because this is certainly fresh from B&B! It was probably more of an artificial coffee flavor that was used in the old days, especially as it never seemed to age, but I liked it for what it was. The pu-erh also seems to have some lighter coloring to the leaves now. Much more golden than before! The flavor is still good though — three solid steeps with only one heaping teaspoon. I just wish it could capture that perfect coffee flavor from before though.

I haven’t tried this one. Do you know how it compares to the David’s version?
I did like the older batch of B&B’s better than David’s. But this newer batch seems very similar to David’s. I probably couldn’t tell much of a difference. Either blend should be able to fit that puzzle piece in the cupboard!
I should say, I also have not had newer batches of David’s coffee pu-erh either, so that one could be different by now also.
I’ve only had the David’s version. It is definitely a staple tea, so I’m glad to know they are likely interchangeable.
