Sticky Rice Pu’er is inspired by a fragrant plant long used in southern Yunnan for its natural glutinous-rice aroma. Among ethnic minority communities in the Yunnan region, leaves like these have long been brewed on their own, blended with tea to welcome guests, and used to scent sticky rice with their soft, familiar fragrance. That was what stayed with us. This is not the bright sweetness of fruit or flowers, but something gentler and closer to memory, like the first breath of steam when a pot of sticky rice is just uncovered. Paired with the mellow, earthy depth of ripe Pu’er, it becomes a tea that feels grounded, comforting, and full of quiet warmth.

Ripe Pu'er
Ripened Pu’er is transformed through microbial post-fermentation, a process that reshapes the tea’s natural polyphenols and creates distinctive compounds such as theabrownins. Research has drawn particular attention to these fermented tea compounds for their interaction with the gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism, two systems closely involved in how the body digests, absorbs, and processes dietary fats.
Sticky Rice Herb (Nuo Mi Xiang Ye)
Sticky rice herb, commonly used in Yunnan-style Pu’er, is valued for the warm, grain-like aroma it brings to tea. Traditionally, it has been paired with fermented tea as a gentle, comforting botanical, especially after meals.
Our Sourcing
Yunnan, China
Yunnan, in southwestern China, is the historic home of Pu-erh tea and one of the world’s oldest tea-growing regions. Its high elevations, warm days, cool nights, abundant rainfall, and diverse mountain forests create ideal conditions for large-leaf tea trees to grow slowly and develop deep, concentrated flavor. Many Pu-erh teas are made from Yunnan’s native large-leaf varieties, valued for their rich polyphenol content and ability to transform over time. After processing, the tea continues to evolve through microbial fermentation and aging, developing the smooth, earthy depth, mellow sweetness, and layered character that define traditional Pu-erh.

This is a tea for true tea lovers, especially those of us who appreciate the special qualities of pu'er.
What an amazing aroma this Sticky Rice Pu'er has, even before brewing! Opening the package was the first delight of many to follow with preparing and drinking this tea.
The color is deep, dark and rich from the first pour from the teapot. Aroma from the pouring and in the cup smells absolutely like cooking rice, no doubt about it. The flavor is earthy without any funk and rich. The mouth feel is silky as if there were no tannins in this tea at all.
All in all, this is a novel tea experience for us and a delightful and surprising one. Thank you for bringing this tea here and expanding our horizons.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I ended up really liking it. The rice fragrance is warm and unique, not artificial, and it makes the tea feel fuller and more relaxing. Definitely different from the usual pu'er I’ve had.
