Reviews for Ancient Trees Organic Pu-erh

The most bizarre tea I've ever had. It brews blacker than coffee, it has an aroma reminiscent of compost and low-tide, and it's tastes very little like tea at all. The flavor is very complex, dirty, earthy, and dry, and very hard to palette without sugar. After I drank it in the morning I felt like I smelt of its fishy stench all day.

A very smooth tea with not a hint of bitterness. But it is not really the tea for me. It is if anything too inoffensive. However, if you want a tea that is silky and soft it is quite good indeed.

The most unique tea I have tasted. As others have remarked, it has a very earthy and sweet taste. Not bitter in the slightest. The only tea I've ever had that tastes as good after a second steeping as it did on the first.

A rich, satisfying brew. One pellet, 6 or 7 grams each, brews a 20 oz pot, and does well with a second steep. I like mine with milk, and the flavor shines through with a mellow, earthy, sweet taste. One can cut the pellets in half, using 3 grams per day for almost a month's supply of morning brew.

Without a doubt my favorite Peet's tea! I must admit that, at first, I was a bit put off by its bold, onyx coloring; very unorthodox for a tea! However, it was, and remains, the best tasting cup I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The flavor is very earthy and smooth. I add a tsp of honey along with a bit of cream, which gives it a reddish hue. Excellent! I'm a Peetnik and I have a tendency of changing my order from time to time. However, the one thing that I order every time, and always will, is Ancient Trees.

Best black tea I've ever had. I''m a tea drinker not coffee. I drink usually black tea in the AM everyday and prefer organic since many teas are heavily sprayed and organic teas I believe taste better and are stronger and smoother. Also I prefer a strong tea and this Puerh tea is very strong and smooth with an awesome earthy complex flavor. It's expensive, yet organic and fair trade so for serious tea drinkers I say it's worth it.

This tea always surprises me, and anyone I serve it to! This tea is unlike anything I had seen before. The tea leaves are pressed into a tablet and expand upon brewing. It brews very dark and looks intimidating, but as soon as you sip its brew you will discover its rich, smooth, nutty flavor! I drink this tea straight without anything added, and I am able to rebrew the same leaves several times! This tea is not only delicious but Fair Trade Certified and organic!
