This is what puerh is. You can steep it light or dark and decide how you like it best. The flavor is right, no offensive side flavors, and if you are new to puerhs, then this a good one try. It is a good standard puerh flavor, and it is priced right for what it is, when comparing to better and worse versions of the same tea. I gave it 5 stars because it is "good" and priced well, but it is not spectacular. Expect to pay much more spectacular. If this is the price you are used to paying for tea, then there is no reason to hesitate. Being the tea snob that I am, I would pay more for better tea, but I would not hesitate to buy this again.

Pleasantly surprised by how good this taste. Very smooth, hints of nuttiness, and subtle notes of sweetness. Ripe Pu-erh tea flavor is more in the aroma after scent, not so much in the direct flavor. 7572 seems to be well made and steeps very well gongfu style. Overall I highly recommend this, considering it's difficult to find a decent source of Pu-erh on Amazon. Taetea has been around for a very long time over in China.

This is for the "cooked" version -- haven't tried the raw.I've been drinking Puehr tea daily for the past 15 years. This one is medium priced, a little on the expensive side for me. I put it in a large mug and poor boiling water over it and I can get about five good steepings out of it. It's a typical strong earthy puerh. The flavor lasts a lot longer than other ones I've tried on Amazon. In short, despite the higher price tag, I still keep coming back to this one. I drink one brick in about 3 weeks.
