As a fan of Pu-er teas, I can tell you that this is the most delicate Pu-er I’ve had in a long time. If you normally avoid Pu-er teas because of their strong earthy tones, you may wish to try this particular Pu-er which is light and airy, almost like a light Yunnan.

This Douji has a distinctive earthy flavor, more coppery than vegetal. 2011 Douji pu-erh tea was my drinking tea for today and I could not discern anything but that earthy, slightly coppery taste in the liquor and aroma. The aroma is not unpleasant, however some people enjoy the scent of Pu-erh tea more than others.

There is a light sweetness. Some of the Pu-erh teas that I’ve tasted recently have had a caramel-y kind of sweetness, this one – not so much a caramel taste, but more of a light touch of sweetness, as though kissed with a drop of honey. It’s very intriguing.

Although I truly love Pu-erh tea, I will admit that I do not have much experience with green Pu-erh tea. However, if this green Pu-erh is representative of it’s class, then I must be trying much more in the future! This, like all Dao Teas I have tried, is not only one-of-a-kind, but also of remarkable flavor and quality.

Breakfast tea. Dark? Check. Strong? Check. Robust? Check. The little something extra here is just a hint of chocolate, just enough to give the tea a boost to a more assertive taste.

While Pu-erh generally does not become bitter, I have noticed that if I steep it too long, I end up with an exceptionally earthy brew … but that didn’t happen even though I didn’t keep track of how long I steeped it. Instead, I was treated to a rich, smooth Pu-erh with a sweet caramel-like taste that develops as I continue to sip. Nice!

This is truly one of the best Pu-Erh teas that I’ve yet to experience, although I must say I’m not surprised by that at all. I have grown rather fond of Arbor Teas. If their fantastic products weren’t enough, they have a strong commitment to our planet and package all their products in environmentally conscious compostable packaging. Their teas are organic and while that may not seem important – it does make a difference. A difference you can taste!

The taste is definitely more of a fruity blend than a black – it is very smooth.

The wonderful thing about this tea is that it will satisfy your sweet tooth!
