Organic Fair Trade Pu-erh Tuo Cha - 2oz

$6.00
Click to add this product to your shopping cart.

Pu-erh is its own class of tea, as it is either oxidized and fermented (traditional), or else it is oxidized twice (more modern technique meant to simulate the mellowing produced by aging). Pu-erh is also unique in that the leaves are traditionally pressed together into bricks or other shapes, both for easy transport and to help the leaves maintain their integrity while aging. Our pu-erh is pressed into a bowl or nest-like shape called “tuo cha” and is the perfect size to make one 16 ounce pot. The tea has a wonderful musty, mellow, and earthy flavor, with heavy body.

Brewing:  200F
