This is an interesting tea in that the production mirrors the way a local delicacy is made. Lemang is glutinous rice steamed in a hollow bamboo stick.
On opening the bag, this tea has a nice smell. The rinse especially has a very nice, spicy smell that I oddly associate with the cows I come across in palm oil estates (that smell nothing like farm-kept cattle).
Unfortunately, this scent doesn’t translate to taste or flavour and I found the tea a bit bland. Maybe I should leaf up a bit heavier though I used a fair amount of leaf (didn’t weigh as usual). I can relate to the sweet aftertaste mentioned in another review but it’s a strong and heavy body that I’m after.
