I swear this tastes like it has a significant amount of pu-erh in it...it has that earthy, dust-like quality to it. I never used to like lipton's decaf until I started liking pu-erh and then my appreciation of it increased slightly--but only very slightly. It really could be a lot more bland than it is. But it's still bland.
My main complaint is that relative to the strength of the aroma, there is way too much bitterness and astringency. If you want to get much aroma you need to brew it so strongly that it is unpleasantly bitter.
