This traditionally processed Dianhong black tea is infused with 糯米叶, a plant that emits a fragrance similar to sticky rice when dried. With many Asian desserts having a rice base or taste to them, this tea is about as close to drinking a dessert as possible.
The initial fragrance delivers an expected sweet sticky rice flavour, while the black tea qualities continue to emerge more and more with each brew, complementing the rice flavour nicely as the sessions progresses.
This unique combination of fragrances and flavours makes for an extremely enjoyable experience in a budget-friendly package.

What-ChaSipping on this while reading a new graphic novel! This limited series is Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, which was pitched to me by a friend as Animal Crossing with serial killers and, yeah, that’s pretty spot on. I’m just eating up the vibe of the pastel and water colour illustrations crossed with such dark subject matter. But, it’s also maybe the coziest murder mystery I’ve ever read, so it definitely needed an equally cozy tea to pair with it. Queue this sticky rice dianhong: full bodied but so, so starchy and creamy with really distinct notes of glutinous rice, coconut milk, and a gentle pillow of malt and cocoa to end the sip on. I really, really like sticky rice herb infused teas in general (especially ripe pu’erh), but this is my first time trying it with a black tea and it’s just ticking every single box on the “comfort tea” list for me. I mean, wow. This just works SO WELL. Between the comic and the tea, I’m hard pressed to think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Ooo I just checked, and my local library has all the issues! Only the digital format, which I don’t prefer for reading comics, but anyway, I’m definitely adding this to my list! Thanks for the recommendation!
