Back by popular demand for our puerh enthusiasts. + More about our Sticky Rice Aged Puerh: “Nuomi Xiang,” Semnostachya menglaensis, is an herb that grows in Yunnan Province and has a distinct, beautiful scent of fresh sticky rice. The herb is blended into puerh tea to give a sweet, aromatic, “glutinous” note to the tea drinking experience that is sometimes also compared to Pandan leaf.

$20. Sold online and in-store. 2 oz bags – contains 13 pcs. https://www.teaism.com/product/special-sticky-rice-aged-puerh-2004/

We're so grateful to the creative community around us. From the authors, poets, musicians, and artists who've sat at our tables, sipped tea with us, and drafted notes and sketches along the way — you have helped shape Teaism over these last 30 years.

Last Friday, we were inspired by everyone's collages at Ariana R-G's tea-inspired art workshop at Teaism Penn Quarter.

Speaking of creative inspo: keep an eye out for a special Teaism 30th crossover event with our friends at DC Zine Fest on 8/28. More on this soon!
