Sticky Rice Sheng Pu'er Pressed (糯米香生壓茶, Nuò Mǐ Xiāng Shēng Yā Chá, "Sticky Rice Fragrance Sheng Pressed Tea") - This traditional style of scented Sheng Pu'er is popular with the Báizú 白族 ("Bai Ethnicity") minority peoples of Yunnan. Starting with high quality Sheng (unfermented) Pu'er leaves from Nannuo mountain, the tea is scented with the leaves of Nuò Mǐ Xiāng, an herb with a sweet cereal fragrance reminiscent of fresh cooked glutinous rice. The herb is said to aid in digestion, and it tempers the sometimes astringent quality of the fresh Sheng Pu'er. It produces a pale green-gold infusion combining the floral fragrance of Sheng Pu'er with the pleasant toasted grain aroma of the sticky rice fragrance plant, set against a background of characteristic Nannuo Mountain minerality. Note: This is a partial sample from a full 357g bing and not a bing in and of itself.
