Xia guan Tuo Cha (下关沱茶)
Xia Guan Tuo Cha ,also named Yunnan Tuo Cha that is origin from Ming Dynasty.
It is one of compressed forms of Pu Er Tea, usually it`s smaller than pu-erh tea cake,
that is easily to carry to anywhere,therefore it had been popular during the Ancient
Tea Route. Xiaguan Tuo Cha is known as high quality tea with long history
and typical intensive Cha Qi with smoky flavor.
very strong smokey flavor followed by slight sweet but long lasting aftertaste. Scent of burned wood with touch of orchid would be simple description of characteristics of this tuo.
quite bitter with the first two infusions but slight sweetness comes after second-third brewing and so as color. Its a good daily drinker for decent price.
Classic shu puer tuocha from Xiaguan tea company. As most of the ripes from that area of production , also this one prefers lighter infusions to achieve sweet tea soup with hint of caramel and dark chocolate and touch of smokiness. Harder steepings might bring up some sour notes as typical for Lincang or Baoshan areas. Dry walnuts notes from brewed leaves...
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 .
Gentle smoky flavour with sweet honey-orchid fragrance can be experienced through the front slight bitter-astringent taste followed by mild and sweet after taste. Classical model from Xiaguan Tea Company.
"You will be eating smoked sausage" as mouth sensation appears like with the first infusion from this hard pressed tuo cha. Meaty flavor will fade away with 2nd steep and persistent typical smoky flavor is accompanied by gentle sweetness. Noticeably bitter but not astringent tea liquor will gain on sweetness if you play around with brewing time.
Identically similar box and wrapper inside with 2016y makes a bit confusing. Although this one is 2014 year, not full 2 years difference is between those two, since 14 is autumn and 16 is spring one. However, there is a bit difference in flavor.This tuo has much settled taste without "dui wei" notes and releases its creamy richness after 3+ infusions....
Iron hard pressed 8 years old sheng pu-erh tea from Xiaguan Tea company into the 357g cake and labeled as 40 years anniversary edition commemorating the opening of Chinese borders in matter of investments. So called " Economy revolution" which should be help to trade with other countries. Anyway, the tea is nice bitter & sweet , settled semi-aged dry...
Hard pressed tuo from 2012 which is made only for export to Taiwan. The fruity scent will fill your room if you brew it in gaiwan. Intensive Smoky notes are present of course but tea will really heat you up. Comfortable sweet mouth feel along with gentle "hui gan". Very good drinker for the cold days!
Shu pu-erh from Xiaguan company made for Tibetan people. Despite of traditional xiaguan tea processing , this tea is missing classical smokey notes. Teh tea soup is red clean and sweet. Since its still considered as a new tea , some very slight notes of "dui wei" can be noticed. But it wouldn't be disturbing your drinking session.
Another very nice Tibetian edition of sheng pu-erh from Xiaguan company. This time pressed into the 250g brick without any wrapping, just simply 5 bricks in the pack. If buy single brick we wrap it into the inner paper bag for you. The typical smokey scent comes out within the first infusion but its not that noticeable while you actually drink the tea.
Pleasant taste of selected top grade tea material and pressed tuo from Xiaguan company well balanced with light smokey notes and sweet mouth feel after. Very good daily drinker for reasonable price or decent candidate for storage if u manage to resist and not drink it for few years. Small pieces of "ma ti" might suggest that small arbors are also involved.
