Ripe Pu-erh Tea with Coffee Beans Mini Cakes

Beans, beans, they're good for your heart...

"...and I don't even know how to finish, let alone start! I suppose I should start off by saying that I'm not a coffee fan, at least not in terms of taking coffee beans, grinding them up, and making a beverage out of the mess. Hard pass. I do like the taste of coffee beans, however, particularly when they're covered in chocolate. That's the impression that I get with this tea when I drink it. I'm not about to eat these mini cakes, mind you, but I get the feeling they still might be tasty consumed in such a manner. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I sat down for my first session. Ok, I hadn't actually intended to sit down, but I tripped over a kettlebell in my living room and I decided that where I landed was a good enough spot to have a session. So, first thing I did was break apart one of the cakes, which was super easy to do, and I'm so thankful for that because I am not sure my system could handle a single mini all at once, especially after nearly ending my life via the kettlebell incident. At any rate, with half a mini cake, some boiling water and several steeps, I found myself in a state of pure bliss. Ripe pu-erh with a noticeable and yet not overpowering coffee flavor that reminds me of chocolate covered coffee beans. That is a sentence fragment I could not have imagined myself ever typing, but alas, there it is. If you need fancy terminology to get you to try this tea, you'll have to wait for someone else to review it so they can show off how much they know about tea and impress you with their amazing review skills. If you want to know whether or not you should try this tea because it's absurdly good, then this is your review. Well, no, technically it's my review. But it's the review you want. This is the one to pay attention to. Why is that, you ask? Or didn't ask? Because it's good, that's why! You don't need more information than that! Just order some and enjoy it!"
