uh huh. well, in that case, I'll let you know what I think about it. I'm having a big mug of Ahmad's English breakfast. I don't drink tea plain, always with sugar or condensed milk. So if you prefer sweet tea, read my comment

I took one small sip because it was hot. First thought: it was not too bad. smelled like tea (because I always drink flavored tea, I haven't smell the original plain tea for a while)

5 mins later. I took a big sip. Second thought: it was a little bit bitter. and I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it. In comparison with Ahmad's lemon&lime black tea, it was still the better one.

after several sips, third thought: this tea is not so bad but it's not excellent either one can drink it with his breakfast, because its taste is vague, then he can move on to other tea

anyway, it's not going to be in my to-buy list next time I go shopping, but I like it better than "Ahmad's lemon&lime black tea." Worst tea ever!

OK a lemon lime tea just sounds like a bad idea.

I find it slightly disturbing that I strongly prefer the cheaper Shu Pu-Erh Tuo Cha Vintage Blend to the mushroom and brick...

I think I prefer the stronger flavor to the more mellow flavor.

On the other hand, I will save myself some cash this way.

If it makes you feel better, you are not alone.
I have to search for my post where I say something very similar

Meanwhile, Pu Erh aged (only 4 years, but cooked nonetheless )

Still working my b...t off, since 8 this morning till 19.40 now, at the PC; have some excel-files I have to transform so that they can be included in the national Archives-database. And as I'm the only one that registred the items in it by title, description, measurements, physical state, providence etc etc....you name it...I filed it. Have been at it these last few days and will be working at it this week.
It is our collection posters (from 1815 onwards) that I rescued out of the depts (cellars) of the Municipal Archives. I do some research on the different subjects, write about it, talk about it to groups that visit and so on. And I love it, but not this.

In my cup: Cold Arabica-coffee

As you can see I prefer younger Pu-Erh so far.
A few more about Tuocha, which is more than likely was young. Price is a good indication in this case.

Can you feel drunk from drinking tea? Apparently yes. Taking into account my health problem, I thought that the dizziness comes back. I complained to my wisest 2/3s and she said that it has nothing to do with dizziness but with drinking good Pu-Erh. She has read that it is possible to get drunk from this tea.
All I want to say WTF??? but I think I better google for it.

Not much taste left. I think I put a bit too much water this time. I also think I like stronger flavour anyway. So, 2 resteeps for me (maybe for the third resteep half the amount of water). The first two were heaven

I hoped to dislike it and be off the hook. No chance.
