Shen Puerh "Rice Coin" (Nuo Mi Xiang) - The Taste of Comfort and Mountain Freshness
Shen Puerh "Rice Coin" is a unique combination of classic high-altitude shen and fragrant "rice" leaves (Nuo Mi Xiang). Pressed into convenient 6-gram mini-discs, this tea provides an unusual gastronomic experience: the traditional freshness of puerh is harmoniously complemented by the warm, enveloping aroma of freshly brewed glutinous rice.
