80's Xia Guan “Xiao Fa” Tuocha (Export Edition, Boxed)

First introduced in 1975 for export to France, the Xiao Fa Tuocha remains one of Xia Guan Tea Factory’s most recognizable Pu’erh teas. Presented in its signature yellow export box, this tea reflects both history and craftsmanship, making it a classic choice for collectors and drinkers alike. Our selection has been well-preserved in dry Vancouver storage, ensuring a clean box, vibrant leaf character, and a pure, elegant taste. When brewed, the liquor is a deep amber with a smooth, rounded body. The flavor is earthy yet refined, layered with notes of camphor, dried jujube, and gentle woodiness, finishing with a long, sweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The balanced strength of Xia Guan’s signature compression style is softened beautifully by years of careful aging, producing a tea that is aromatic, mellow, and exceptionally clean to drink. Whether you are exploring Pu’erh history or seeking a satisfying daily cup with heritage value, the Xiao Fa Tuocha is an excellent and trustworthy choice. 【Origin】Yunnan Province, China 【Brewing Method】Put an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the tea infuser, brew with boiling water at high temperature, moisten the tea (wash the tea) once or twice times, in order to release the quality of the tea and make the tea more easy to release the tea flavor during brewing. 【Storage】Stored in cool, dry condition away from direct sunlight
