Yunnan Golden Pu-erh Tea

This tea is very strong, which is something I like. It has an earthy flavor without being bitter. Tastes great hot or iced with the german rock sugar. It is my new favorite black tea and the whole family loves it.

i like this alot but found it bitter.. even with sugar it was bitter... but none the less... awesome tea

This is a good tea, definitely. I do love my black teas, so if you're not really into black tea that much or if you don't like your tea to be too strong then this might not be for you.

It's very strong (which I like) and it definitely has a unique flavor unlike most other black teas.

Is it worth the money I paid for it? It is. It's not my favorite, but I do like to have a variety when it comes to my black teas and this one was definitely worth the money I paid for it.

Also I really don't drink iced tea but if you like iced tea then this one is perfect for icing.

While I put "yes I would recommend" I really would only recommend it if you really dig your black teas. If you don't but are looking for a black tea, the dragon pearls or celestial black teas are magnificent.

I have always loved oolong tea, but this has a much bolder flavor. And you can't go wrong with the added benefits of weight loss.

This is a really good black tea. Pu-erh is a really nice quality tea with a rich, earthy flavor. I wanted to get a black tea to use as an afternoon tea, as the only other black teas I have are Earl Grey and English Breakfast, which I use for mornings. This one is perfect. It tastes similar to English Breakfast, only smoother and not as bitter. Some of Teavana's other teas are weak, and I was delighted to know that was not the case with this tea. Very full and rich flavor. Definitely the kind of tea you want with lunch or to mellow out and definitely will remain part of my collection.

As this is a Yunnan unfermented black and pu-erh blend, I find that while it is an enjoyable cup of tea, the pu-erh does not come through as much as I would like. First steep yields a dark reddish copper liquor, almost opaque. Relatively low astringency, smooth maltiness at the back of the tongue and a subtle earthy, mushroom-like flavor at the soft palate described more aptly as smelled than tasted. Clean finish. Takes well to a second steeping - a little lighter and sweeter the second time around. Nice if you like slight astringency, but as I prefer a smooth-as-butter pu-erh, perhaps next time I will brew for a minute shorter and with an extra teaspoon (I did 1 tsp/8oz and 3 min steep.) Overall a very "soft" cup of tea with a nice round mouthfeel, but I prefer my pu-erh to taste much bolder and richer, like I've licked a forest floor.

I really enjoyed this tea. I am not a black tea person, but pu-erh tea oddly enough agrees with me. It is milder and not as earthy as some, excellent if you're not a black tea fan like myself.

great tea, I really like the flavor, this is the first Pu-erh i've ever had and I really enjoy it. Makes a nice morning tea.
