Good fragrance. I tried it in a blind tasting against another rice shou mini tuo and liked the other more, but this one was still close. The other didn't have a wrapper, and this one does which is convenient. The one I preferred had less Nuo Mi Xiang compared to this one, which I attribute to having more shou notes comes through with a bit less simplicity. As others have mentioned, there is a bit of dust but it wasn't bad. Tuo was totally open on 2nd infusion. Don't expect much for shou notes from this, it's dominated by the Nuo Mi Xiang which is my only gripe. Wish it was a tigher ratio with less Nuo Mi Xiang, to have it more as a compliment than a dominator. Although the description says it is a very small ratio (and it may be compared to some others), it had more than the other I tested against. Still a great option and very cheap. Nice to mix things up occasionally. |

I have to admit i was not expecting too much from a cheap mini tuo; i wanted to try the sticky rice flavor and i'm happy about that part: nice and interesting. As for the tea, it's probably what it should be and maybe even a tad better, yet it's the most dusty tea i had that i can remember short of a tea bag. The ripe part does not come through overwhelmed by the (yet pleasing) rice scent. They open up very fast, betraying once again the nature of the broken up material. Overall i'm happy i got it for the odd day i want something quite different, but i can't grade it much higher nevertheless. |

This is one of our favorite teas, even my teenagers love it. The rice aroma is nice and fragrant. The tea is very smooth when brewed, not at all bitter and no tartness as many teas have. |

The Sticky Rice Scent Ripe Pu-erh Mini Tuo Cha * Nuo Mi Xiang is excellent. It has a dark color, a nice taste and a good smell of rice |
