Looking for a moderately aged, easy to use Sheng/Raw Puer or just keen to dabble..?!
Larger than normal, these Melon shaped Tuo cha are also pretty good quality tea for these smaller pressings and a great way to dip your toe into the wild world of Sheng puer.
Repeat steeps yield a light amber, clear brew that has aged away many of the kicking and screaming of youth but still carries an invigorating, saliva-inducing and stimulating bitterness.
These guys are approximately 20g each, so will suit a pretty large pot with a bunch of friends, or a LOT of steeps if you cleave one in halves and steep solo in a small/medium gaiwan/pot.
Grab a handful and get steeping (and steeping...and...)
Grown in the Lincang/Mengku region of Yunnan, South Western China.
Harvested in 2016, and processed from that time.
A single cube approximately 13-15g each.
