Sticky Rice Old Tea Nugget 2010
Come for the gentle, grainy notes of rice, stay for the rich and warming ripe pu’er! Nutty and smooth as silk, you’ll love how this tea changes over its many steeps, calming in its essence from start to finish. Soft, velvety, full on the tongue, we really enjoy the spicy and sweet aftertaste.
2010 harvested and processed.
We recommend using water right at boil as these tightly compressed leaves are quite hardy. Rinse with boiling water in order to prime the leaf and the pot, pouring that water off after 15 to 20 seconds. First steep of 20 to 30 seconds, upping the time for subsequent infusions.
