I did not like it the first or second time.. Some things to suggest:

1) Rinse the puerh for 30 seconds and throw away that initial steeping.
2) Try a Green pu-erh.

For me, a switch just clicked and I began to kindof like it.. Although
that initial SpecialTeas Tuo Cha still kinda tasted bad until the 2nd or
3rd steep.
