Thank you Boychik for including a couple of these with the Yunnan Sourcing tea. I LOVE sticky rice pu-erh. I’ve tried a couple. This one doesn’t seem overly like sticky rice like my favorite one did… really only hints in the scent and flavor. The cup gets very dark very fast, but the flavor doesn’t seem as deep as it should be. It’s very sweet but mild flavored.. it doesn’t seem like there are a ton of elements to it but none of the more unlikeable pu-erh flavor notes either. The second steep is deeper but still not very much like rice. Not terrible, but I believe I was spoiled with that first sticky rice pu-erh I tried!
Steep #1 // couple min after boiling // rinse // 2 min steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 min
Steep #3 // just boiled // 4 min

Which has been your favourite sticky rice tuocha? :) I’ve been reminded of them, and am searching out some options.
I’d say my favorite was the first rice tuocha I tried from Teance. But they are out of stock on the site right now (and a little pricy.) I’ll be trying a rice pu-erh from Teavivre soon, maybe that will be a new favorite.
Ahh, thanks! I tried a raw rice paddy puerh from Teavivre, and it was too “raw” for me. :) I think Sil picked up a couple options from Tao Tea Leaf, which will be more accessible to me if I like them.
