Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
A newer blend created to celebrate the birthplace of Xiaguan tea factory. Dali a smallish city at the base of the Cang Mountains, and bordering the lovely Er Hai lake. This tuo cha has been stored in Guangdong since 2006 and is an excellent example of "dry stored" Guangdong tea. The round tight-lidded box offered excellent stable humidity throughout the years. The result is a strong tasting tea with tons of character and a real aged taste but without the mustiness! 150 grams of tea per tuo!
