This tuocha shu pu'er is quite attractive in appearance with a melange of tan, brown, red, and black tea leaves, and with a nice aroma. However, the resultant tea is simple, with a nuttiness and sweetness standing out from a smooth background flavor. The nuttiniess doesn't last very long and appears at the beginning of the sip, with the sweet taste appearing at the back of the tongue and a few seconds after swallowing the tea. Different steeping times didn't cause any bitterness, which was a boon to me.
For $4 this isn't really all that bad, but I don't think I'll buy anymore for the time being. The taste is really just average, but comforting. There's so much tea out there, that I'm still trying to figure out the tea that resides within my tastes.
