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 .

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...
