At least to us. It may be that it's an acquired taste, or that the Chinese palate is just wired for this kind of flavor. I don't know; when the Professah called from a liquor store in HI to say that they had it there, I asked him to pick one up for me. It has a very earthy, bitter taste, which makes sense because it is aged in huge ceramic vases.
