Name: Yunnan Golden Pu Erh<\/a><\/p>\n

Type:\u00a0 Black<\/p>\n

Region:\u00a0 Yunnan, China<\/p>\n

Bought At:\u00a0 Adagio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Price:\u00a0 $29 for maestro sampler set (4 teas)<\/p>\n

First Impressions:\u00a0 Unpleasant smell!<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

This is an interesting tea.\u00a0 While it’s listed by adagio as a black tea, it’s technically a “Pu Erh” or fermented tea.\u00a0 I wasn’t even really aware of this type of tea and found a lot of interesting information about it on the Wikipedia article<\/a>.\u00a0 Apparently this type of tea is better aged, and you can still find some from as far back as the Qing Dynasty.\u00a0 As far as the tea itself goes, while interesting, I didn’t find it overly enjoyable.\u00a0 I just couldn’t get past the rather pungent smell it puts off, although it does mellow some with brewing.\u00a0 The flavor itself was pleasant enough.\u00a0 It was slightly different than most black teas.\u00a0 It wasn’t bitter, more of a clear slightly nutty taste.\u00a0 Overall I would say definitely try it for the experience, but don’t get a large amount.\u00a0 It’s different enough to be interesting the first few drinks, but not good enough to want after that.<\/p>\n

My Rating:
\n2.5 \/ 5<\/p>\n
