Da Li (大理)
Da Li state is one of the famous parts of Yunnan Province.
From historical part the area is well know for Nan Zhao Kingdom in A.D. 738-937. It’s also famous for mountain Wu Liang Shan which big part of it belongs to Nanjian county of Dali State and it has been reliable source of high quality tea for well known companies like Xia Guan ( Xiaguan Tuo Cha ) for many years.
This is a typical Xiaguan tuocha ,where the bright golden tea color liqour is slightly bitter-astringent taste, distinctive smoky flavor accompanied by dark chocolate notes with slightly sweet after-taste .
A little bit pricey jubilee edition of tuo cha from Xiaguan tea company. The not " fresh " taste of well settled sheng pu-erh is the sign of mixture 4 past years tea material, so technically speaking could be 2013-2017 sheng puerh tuo cha. Bitter ,sweet,woody and not really smokey , would be the main characteristics of the dark gold liquid in your cup...
Spring tea leafs from Wuliang mountain plantations located around 2400m alt. Hard pressed followed autumn into the 380g tea cake also known as 'tie bing' (steel cake) by Nanjian tea factory. Despite of "pu-erh fever" in 2007 year this cake has a relatively uniformed grade of tea material , since factory uses their own plantations.
Xiaguan sheng pu-erh tea 200g brick made for export to Tibet was stored in Sichuan province. Typical smokey notes with woody texture and slightly sour-sweet taste. Touch of wild mushrooms in combination with pine tree comes out of the gaiwan and tells you about balanced storage , not too dry / wet.
In very flashy green box packed new model of tuo cha from Xiaguan as the remake of the old packaging. Smoky & sweet tea liquor holds for few good infusions. Pleasant "sheng jing" buzzing after 3rd cup with nice warming body feel after.
Sheng pu-erh from Xiaguan pressed into the 250g brick without any wrapping, 5 bricks in the paper pack. If buy single brick we wrap it into the paper bag for you. Typically smokey notes in taste but more fruity background than the younger ( 2017) version we also have. This is also contributed by different storage which was in north of China.
Hard pressed tea brick from Xiaguan company previously stored in Guangzhou which has imprinted some mushroomy notes in aroma of brewed tea leaves , yet not that intensive in taste. Tea liqour is sweet fruity aged taste and not that smokey as it's in dry stored version. Harder steepings will turn bitter but leaving sweet mouthfeel on sides of the tongue...
