Bought this recently from Streetshop88. It is a very nice ripe but a very different ripe from the average. The flavor of the sticky rice is very strong. So strong I could not taste the fermentation of this tea. I do not know if this is made with the sticky rice herb or real sticky rice. It does not say on the website but the herb is more common. It had an extremely sweet flavor to it with no bitterness at all. This is a good tea but very different. This is one I recommend trying. He sells this in single 100g cakes or tongs of five cakes. I bought the tong. I am not sure if a sample below a 100g cake is available. I really enjoyed this tea.

I steeped this ten times in a 160ml Solid Silver Teapot with 14.1g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 minute. I suspect if I wanted to continue I would get another four or five steeps out of this.

Flavors: Rice, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 14 g 5 OZ / 160 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
