These tuocha smell exactly like sticky rice. They taste like it, too. This tea is a wonderful alternative to Japanese Genmaicha (roasted rice green tea). These tuocha are made from green pu-erh and were manufactured in 2004. The distinct sticky rice smell and taste comes from a Chinese herb known as Nuomixiang. The tea is stored for several months with the herb before being processed into tuocha form. Pu-erh tuocha is sold by weight, so for 50-grams you will receive around 12 pieces; for 100-grams, around 24 pieces; and for 200-grams, around 48 pieces. |
