Another Valhallow sample! I was so excited to see that this was a sticky rice tea. The aroma, the flavor, I loves it. Even though a wrapper isn’t conducive for keeping smells in, the leaves still had a lovely scent. I rinsed it once, though honestly, I don’t think it needed a rinse. The initial aroma coming off the is full of sticky rice plant. There is umami, sticky rice, and a bit of marine qualities in the wet leaves. The mouthfeel is smooth with slight astringency. It has a refreshing quality. The flavor is what I expected. Lots of sticky rice notes. Earthy notes of dry dirt and desert twigs.
