The 2011 Xiaguan tuocha sheng (raw) puer tea comes from a famous Chinese factory called Xiaguan which, according to its recipes, mixes and presses different maocha from all over the Yunnan region to form products with a unique and complex flavour. This factory was founded in 1941 near the city of Dali in the prefecture of the same name and, from its inception, made extensive use of the type of format called tuocha (bowl shape) to press its leaves. The Xiaguan brand has grown a lot over the years also thanks to its geographical position which guarantees an excellent climate for aging its teas. Speaking of aging, this sheng puer once brewed will display many flavor characteristics that the leaves tend to take on over the years. In fact, from the first sips you can already feel a flavour of green wood accompanied by a slightly damp cellar scent left over from the years of aging.
