Piccolo Sticky Sheng Puck 短笛糯米盛球

This 2022 Nuò Mǐ Xiāng (糯米, Sticky Rice Herb) Sheng tea coin is the counterpart to the much loved 2022 Sticky Rice Shu Pu'er Tea Coin, which quickly sold out. This traditional style of scented Pu'er is popular with the Báizú 白族 ("Bai Ethnicity") minority peoples of Yunnan. Starting with high quality Sheng 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 complements the complex character of lightly aged Nannuo Sheng Pu'er. It produces a soft maize color during initial steepings that deepen into rich amber hues, set against a background of characteristic Nannuo Mountain minerality.
