Sticky Rice Pu-erh Tuocha from Chicago Tea Garden

Auggy drank Sticky Rice Pu-erh Tuocha by Chicago Tea Garden

I’m bumping up the rating of this tea just a bit. Why? Because it’s pretty crave-able (I’ve been thinking about having the last of my sample for days), tastes just like what it should (a big bowl of fresh rice), makes my queasy stomach feel better (stupid allergies) and so tasty that every time I make another steep, I have to go surf Chicago Tea Garden’s website to see what other goodies I need to buy.

Now I just have to decide if I’m going to get 75g or 100g of this…

It sounds like it would be really weird to me (tea and rice?) but I’m glad you think it has merit. :)

Oohh, sounds good. I had to flip a coin between this and the Yunnan black. I’ll probably order a sample of this.

This sounds amazing…. I sent for a free sample of this as well back when i heard about it, but i’ve never received mine…. But all these reviews of this just make me want to go ahead and get some anyway.

Jillian, it’s more rice tea than rice and tea, if that makes sense. It’s quite tasty!
Lena, I didn’t flip a coin but the Yunnan was my second choice!
Garrett, Maybe yours will just take a bit longer to come in? I don’t remember how long mine took.

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
