This was an acceptable tea, there was nothing offensive about it. The one problem on my end was I went a bit heavy on the leaf and that made for some unwelcome strong brews that made any flaws blatantly obvious. The body had a slight hint of the "twiggy" taste that I am not a huge fan of, but it was negligible. The aromas waere nominal and nothing that I would say was great or bad. This would be an alright introduction to puerh but lacking a little complexity. The tea was right in the middle of average for me although I probably would not get more.
