Anyone heard about it? tasted it?
Sounds so tempting...

Drank a tea once called "mai cha" which basically means wheat tea.
Someone said later that it can also be called mi xiang tea, but other
than that I've not heard of this. Can you provide more information
please?

During an int'l food exhibition I received some samples of teablocks of
pu-erh and yunnan black tea by a company called Yunnan Haichao
Teablock. Upon entering their website I saw they also make these so
called Mi Xiang "sticky rice fragrance" teablocks. see

Also on TaoBao there are references to "glutinous rice" when describing
Puerh. I don't get the gist.

Glutinous Rice = Sticky Rice = Mochi = Short-Grain Sweet Rice
It's all basically the same kind of rice.

I'd still like to know what sticky rice tea is supposed to taste like?
Anyone?

I dunno, next time you make sticky rice, pour some of the water off
and taste it.

I think it's made with the *leaves* of glutinous rice as well as tea
leaves. But I actually haven't tasted it.
