The 2015 Tuocha Shu (cooked) 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. This tuocha is made entirely of puer shu leaves which, judging by the flavour of the product, must have been carefully fermented at a not too high humidity level. In the cup you will mainly feel a woody flavor followed by a hint of mountain herbs and finally a refreshing sensation.
