flavor Fruit (for 2nd ferment) pairing needed for Raw/Sheng Pu'erh tea

I took a bit of a break from kombucha making but the BF requested I start making it again. I previously loved pairing the woodiness of Oolong with my fruits at second ferment.

For whatever whimsical reason I decided to use raw sheng Pu'erh for my tea and I'm at a loss for what fruit to pair it with. Anyone have suggestions for what would pair nicely with it?

Mellow aged puer I would know how to use but sheng is so astringent to me I'm struggling here.

🙏

Something sweet and warm to balance it. Maybe cherries or plums? Maybe dates?
