Along the same lines, I too picked up a sample of Puerh from my
LTS given the attention it's been getting here.

It's a supposedly wonderful cave-aged product that from first wiff
to last sip reminds me of the summers I spent mucking out stalls
on horse farms. Unfortunately, those are NOT necessarily good
memories.

The shop owner commented that some people "spike" their puerh with
a little Earl Grey. That at least makes it drinkable.
