made from germinated brown rice, mugwort, wheat, black beans, barley, and job’s tears. Snipping the little package open and giving it a good sniff (while not getting powder up my nose, win!) you can certainly tell this is a rice and grain based drink. It smells like sticky rice, regular rice, and cereal with a little bit of sweetness, kinda reminds me of Cream of Rice.
After I mix it with warm water and give it a thorough stirring…and then let it cool enough so I don’t burn my tongue, it is time to taste this rice based tea. It is really quite tasty, if you are into drinking warm and slightly creamy tea that tastes like a mixture of nuts, green things, and sweet cream of rice. Conveniently I am, but as Ben was kind enough to tell me, this one might be a very acquired taste. Especially since you have to stir it constantly or it more or less forms cream of rice at the bottom of your cup.

Where are you finding all these unusual teas? Mugwort & beans? Did you just make this one up? :p
Hehe, I am finding these quirky things at my local Asian Market, they had them 6 for a dollar so I got one of each :P
Wow, I need to get to the tea aisle at the local Asia Mall!
It can be addictive! I went to get stocked up on Shui Hsien and ended up with all these silly samples and a whole (cheap) Pu Erh cake
I had to put back the tins of Dong Ding and Lung Jing that I originally had in my cart, but I will be going back for them soon.
