Oh definitley! You should never give up! Frankly, we Americans are at a disadvantage only because tea vendors are currently so ill infomed about selecting puerh or just have yet gained the aptitude needed to judge great quality pu. Unfortnately, their lack of experience affects those newcomers who are trying to broaden their horizens.wng wrote:If I don't like something right away I still keep trying, there are a lot of things I hated at first but love now like lapsang souchong or natto. I definitely think Ill try some better pu before giving up on it.hop_goblin wrote: Indeed, puerh creates a dicotomy of people, "like it or or not". Frankly, I was in love with the stuff the first sip. People can learn to appreciate it but will will never enjoy it like some. I think it's usless to learn "how to appreciate" the flavors since there are so many other teas out there to drink than wasting time "learning" how to "like" a particular one because of hype.

Re: Taste of pu erh
I thought puer was nasty the first time I tried it. One part was because I was drinking bad pu. Another part is that some new/strange flavors take time to grow on you.
