★★★☆☆
I'm a big fan of the pu erh dante, but the pu erh poe left me a little disappointed. Both have a distinct smell of wet hay, but the pu erh poe actually tastes like it. I don't hate it, but it's not something I'd order again.
A rare aged, fermented tea from Yunnan, China, pu'erh stands apart with its uncommonly soft earthy flavor. Freshly damp forest aroma, warm hay inside a barn, mushrooms and savory vegetables. Wilted flower notes and faintly dark chocolate texture.

As previously mentioned, this is a love-it-or-hate-it tea. It does smell very much like wet straw, and brews an incredibly dark cup. If you don't like that idea, don't order it. It's great for indigestion, though, and while I wouldn't drink it every day, it is on my reorder list.
Not my favorite style, but it's not bad. I have to be in the right mood to have this, though.
Despite the scathing Pu Erh reviews, I was expecting to like this tea. I usually love earthy and barnyard aromas, but it reminded me of the formaldehyde used to preserve specimens for dissections. Pungent and not for anyone that's certain.
I quite enjoy the pu erh (standard) and thought the 'premium' would be ... premium! I was disappointed with this one so it's back to the pu erh standard which is a very good cup of tea!
I think it's an acquired taste. I liked my pu erh dante until I read reviews saying that it smelled like a stable, and then I smelled it again and realized that it DID - and so does the poe. Now I'm having a hard time making myself drink it again! I did use them in a chicken marinade, though, and the chicken came out wonderful.
