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.
