This is a very high quality tuo cha from a private tea collector who has been keeping teas in Vancouver for the past 20 years plus. The tea has a clean woody/earthy flavour with a deep amber colour tea soup. The tea liquid tastes complex with a thick texture. This is one of the most popular teas selling at our shop since its introduction a couple of months ago.Name: 1990s Pu-Erh Xiaguan Tuo Cha (Black/Shou) -- 100 gramsFactory: Xiaguan Tea FactoryWeight Per Tuo: 100 grams Origin: Yunnan ProvinceTypes: Shou/RipeHarvest Period:1990's
