Sticky Rice Pu-erh Tuocha from Chicago Tea Garden

I really dig this tea. It smelled amazing in the package that I received yesterday! I’m steeping it tonight while indulging in Alice in Wonderland again(such a good movie!). My initial reaction is the steeped smell of the wet leaves and the liquor is overwhelmingly like you stuck you nose into a freshly made plate of rice. Rice is the overwhelming smell. The taste, reminds me of a genmaicha meets green tea meets pu erh. The flavor profiles of all three of those remind me of this tea.The genmaicha is most likely because of the rice as well. I like this tea, it’s very unique! Bravo, Tony on another great tea you offer! :)

This was one of my favorites. I love how it smells. I normally don’t like puerh but haven’t had a bad one from them yet.

I agree with you. Normally puerhs smell, well, pretty gross sometimes. This one was great.
