1993 Xiaguan Pu-erh Xiao Tuo Cha Cooked/Shou
Xiaguan Tea Factory
下關普洱小沱 下關茶廠 熟沱 1993
Xiaguan, Yunnan is well-known for producing quality Tuo Cha. Each Xiao Tuo Cha (mini tea cake) is hand pressed and individual wrapped in rice paper, cellared and aged. The great care taken in the storage process contributes to this tea’s beautiful, balanced flavour. The subtle woody rich flavour and full- bodied texture is perfect to accompany or enjoy after meals. The great “Cha Qi” (energy) is lifting but not abrasive. This is one of my favourite teas to relax and unwind.
