This might be the most peculiar tea I have ever tasted. I received it with a mixture of flavored Sheng and Shu Pu Erh Tuochas and had to try it first because I love sticky rice as a food. The aroma is mostly sweet sticky rice with a slightly fishy undertone from the Pu Erh. The taste is so unusual!!! You can taste the sweet sticky rice and very subtle and earthy Pu Erh, it certainly takes a few sips before you get familiar with the strangeness of this tea. It is odd how it can be both very rich and almost overpowering and at the same time very light and refreshing.
I recommend this tea for anyone who wants a new tea experience.
