The Te Ji (aka Special Grade) tuo is a newer Xiaguan recipe that has been produced since 2003. High grade material is processed in the traditional method and then tightly compressed and stored in these sleek hypo-allergenic plastic bags. For overly humid and hot climates you can store these long-term in their original packaging. For drier and/or cooler climates open the bag, or cut holes in it to allow for faster aging. Classic Xiaguan tuo, great for long-term storage! Date: 2022 Pressing (from 2021 tea) Ingredients: Yunnan Large Leaf varietal sun-dried tea Produced by Xiaguan Tea Factory
