Sticky Rice Pu'er Tea Cakes (12 pieces)

New: bag of 12 pieces! These are from the Menghai Tea Factory, the oldest tea factory in Yunnan and one of the most respected producers of Pu'er tea in the world.  These Pu'er tea cakes are naturally sticky rice flavored using the leaves of a plant indigenous to the Southern Yunnan rainforests called Strobilanthes tonkinensis—there are no actual carbs or rice in this tea!
