Experiment time! I’m home today so i figured it would be the perfect opportunity to compare both of tao’s rice tuo’s side by side.
1st steep – this one starts to break apart a lot faster than the shou…the brew is darker and the aroma is stronger…this one smells more like rice than the other. the brew is..plain, average…not super intense, but smooth with the rice flavouring being more on the tail end of the swallow than in the initial sips…
hmmmm more to come i’m sure.
So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.
My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!
Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.

Never had the sheng version!!!
i think i like the shou version better…but i’ve got more steeps to go
:( I wanted to compare these as well! But the group order I did left out the shou…
