Shu Pu-erh Resin "Nuo Mi Xiang" Balls is a tea paste (茶膏, chagao) with added leaves and stems of the nuo mi xiang herb (糯米香叶子). They are blended with the tea material in a set proportion, and the resin takes on a sweet, spicy sticky-rice aroma.
The balls dissolve easily in hot water, so the drink is ready in a couple of minutes in a thermos or in a Chahai. The result is a thick, velvety, rich tea in which the main theme is the nuo mi aroma, while the shu pu-erh plays a soft, creamy background.
