Detail

Tuo Cha literally translates to Dome/Nest Tea and is a reference to its compressed shape. These delightful little cakes are a variant of fermented Pu'Erh tea from Yunnan Province.

Our Tuo Cha Pu'Erh is a Shu Cha(Ripe Pu'Erh) that has undergone accelerated fermentation in order to speed up the ageing process and to mature its flavours. It exhibits a smooth and slightly earthy taste with mild overtones ranging from fruits to dark chocolate, a must-try for those fascinated by mysterious Chinese Pu'Erh teas.

Aged to perfection for 2 to 3 years, every dome of our Tuo Cha weights between 4g and 5g, individually wrapped to lock in freshness and serving convenience.

Tuo Cha is perfectly well-balanced, in particular when?infused in?a Gong Fu Cha ceremony, bringing enjoyable sensations to the palate and eye.
