Yuck.
I just brewed 2 cups of this at 212º for 5 min. according to the instructions and it was awful.
The color is beautiful -- it's a rich dark red. The aroma reminded me of beef broth and very good won ton soup and fermented soy. The flavor reminded me of won ton soup. Really. Which is great for a soup. It's just not my cup of tea.
It's meaty and yeasty, which is beloved by many. But I prefer more nutty, floral, or earthy notes, I guess.
Now that it's cooled, it's drinkable, but the aroma is still hard for me to ignore. (And I drink pu-erh!) The malty, yeasty taste is more than I can bear.
I will be passing the tin along to mom.
