I Think I'll Pass

I bought a sample of Pu Erh tea since I'd been hearing so much about it. Pu is right! It smells wretched and tastes like river mud, as opposed to you know, normal mud [g]

I think this is an acquired taste I'll pass on!

Must go make normal tea now to remove flavour.

This is actually loose tea leaves. But I have seen the blocks you speak of! I think it's supposed to be extra fermented than the usual black tea.

Hmm... no clue. Mum got them off some distant relatives I've never met before in China. *shrug*
