My entire thought while drinking this was "nothing beats knowing that I'm drinking tea from an ancient tea forest; how cool is that?!" I liked it! It was a nice brew.
The dried leaf does a have a fruity smell, like Alex suggested, not sure if I'd call it grape. The tea once brewed didn't have much of an aroma, it was subtle and didn't smell like most pu-erh I've had.
Loved the quality of the tea overall, nice and smooth. The price might be a little to high for me to drink regularly, I'm glad I got to try it this once!
