I've tried a few Pu-ehr types, none of the really high grade ones, but
everything from the cheap Sprouting brand tuochas and mini tuochas on
up to some mid-grade cooked ones.

>How would you characterize what you hate about Pu'er?


None of them had a taste that I liked. None of them just made me smile
when I drank it, the way yunnan congou always does. I don't see any
reason to drink something like that, when there are plenty of things
that do make me smile.
