27 Tasting Notes
From the LiquidProust group buy.
The pearls are quite large, so I was surprised to read on the package instructions to use 3-5 pearls. Nevertheless, I used the average of 4 pearls, so the steeped tea was quite strong and lasted a lot of steeps. Very nice taste, no astringency and quite sweet.
I got a sample of this tea from LiquidProust (thanks for letting me try!) and had a surprisingly amount of steeps from it some time ago. Thinking back about the taste, one flavor and word stands out: leather! I was drinking leather ;-) Not that that means it was a bad taste, just very special. I also encountered the dryness LiquidProust mentioned in his review.
Tea that is supposed to taste like sticky rice? Count me in!
And this tea did not disappoint! A strong sticky rice flavor, that continued to be there after several steeps.
I liked it so much that I put the spent leaves in a water bottle in the fridge overnight, resulting in guess what refreshing sticky rice flavored water!
