We acquired 30 cakes of this Tuocha from Xiaguan, Yunnan a few years ago, and have been patiently aging it, letting it develop over time.

The name "Tuocha" refers to the dome-like shape of the compressed tea cake. Tuocha pu'erh was usually exported to France, as an easy-drinking and sweet pu'erh ripe for enjoying day-to-day. It is not innately a complex tea, as it does not come from ancient trees. In the case of this Tuocha we taste for the characteristics that come with 15 years of age.

Even with the depth lended by time, it remains an extremely easy drinking pu'erh ripe. The mouth feel is light and almost refreshing, while still being earthy and sweet. It does not have the richness or brothy texture of pu'erh ripes made from much older tea trees, which is exactly its charm. This is an uncomplicated, high quality pu'erh ripe to enjoy at times when you are feeling a bit lighter.

Preparation Guide

Recommended Brewing Vessels
Gaiwan Pitcher Tea Cup

We Recommend

Always use boiling water. Fermented teas need heat to release their nutrients, flavour, and body. When breaking apart a pu'erh cake, separate the leaves rather than using a solid chunk — this way the tea will open faster and infuse more evenly.

Preparation

Water
120ml
Leaves
4 grams
Temperature
100°C

Infusion

First infusion: 5–15 seconds. If the tea is from a compressed cake, allow up to 30 seconds for the leaves to begin opening.

Subsequent infusions: 5–10 seconds. Pour the water in, then pour the tea out as soon as the gaiwan is full.

From the 6th infusion: add 10–15 seconds each time.

Infusions: 8+
