This is unlike any puer I have had before and is very tasty. It is a good quality earthy puer with strong mushroom notes, but the tangerine peel adds a lovely citrus aroma. I prefer to drink this with a small chunk of peel in it but it is good without too. The peel does not add any bitterness but it is slightly tangy.

Now this is some great shou, the citrus balances with the light earthiness of the tea perfectly. I'm glad I bought a few because I can't stop drinking it!

Originally purchased from: YunnanSourcing.us in March, 2017. This puerh is such a Joy to drink! Great anytime, but enjoyable especially in warmer months! Great puerh aromas & tastes of ash, mushrooms, & earth; with sweet, citrus notes from the tangerines! I easily get 5 flavorful steeps. Steeps 6-7 are still good with a sweet, clean flavor. Good tea at at a fair price for sure.

This tea doesn’t brew super strong, but lasts for a while. The colour of the liquor is paler than other ripe pu’er teas I came across and it has a medium body. The mouthfeel has some kind of cleansing feel to it, especially in the finish. Without the skin, the citrus sourness is mostly present in the smell, the taste has more of the citrus bitterness. The tea taste is very brothy (mushrooms) and only a little earthy. The tangerine taste is definitely present in the tea, but doesn’t dominate. There is almost no sweetness in this tea, it’s mostly a bitter affair, but I think that’s nice. Also the aftertaste in the early steeps is mostly savoury with some bitterness but not much sweetness. The later steeps seem to have more acidic aftertaste. With the tangerine peel, the liquor smells a bit like an apple pie to which someone added a bit too much of citrus peel. The wet leaf is now really reminiscent of citrus orchard with both the earthy and citrus notes present. The taste with the skin is more tangy and sour and akin to actual fruit juice, but without the sweetness. I like it a lot.

This is a good Pu-erh with a nice aftertaste of Tangerine. I broke a small piece of of the tangerine and put that in my gaiwan along with the tea. I definitely enjoy the taste of this!
