I debated making a review on this because eastkyteaguy did such a great review on it. Far better than my inability to pick out taste notes hehe. However, I just had to because I absolutely loved this.

Sticky Rice is one of my ‘things’ in life, and I’ve tried all kinds and this one is by far the best. I always thought it was best with green tea and I like the pu’er ones too but their description is right in that it goes very well with Oolong, if done right, of course. I really have nothing to add to his focused and thorough review (which convinced me to try it hehe) except that I loved it. It’s just the right balance of everything, not overly sweet, well-balanced, and has a ‘Je ne sais quoi’ about it. For me, it’s a keeper.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
