The 2003 XiaGuan "Te Ji" (Special Grade - Red Eye Version) Tuo, a 100g Puerh Sheng Cha (Raw Tea), represents a distinguished series in the world of tea, launched in 2003 with the ambition of surpassing the quality of the JiaJi tuo cha. The "Te Ji," meaning "Special Grade," is crafted from tea materials of a higher grade than those used in JiaJi, earning it the market nickname "TeTuo." In 2016, the series was officially renamed "TeTuo," an abbreviated form of "TeJiTuoCha."

Packaging and Trademark:

  • This tea is easily recognizable by its unique "Pine tree and Crane" trademark on the wrapper.
  • The Red Eye Version, featuring a distinctive crane, is highly regarded for its superior quality, which is also reflected in its pricing.
  • The series offers various packaging options, including simple wrappers and paper boxes, and comes in different weights like 100g and 250g.

Taste Profile:

  • Compared to JiaJi tuo cha, the Te Ji series presents a more astringent flavor due to its higher-grade tea materials.
  • The initial sessions are marked by a more fragrant aroma and an abundant mouthfeel.
  • There is a notable bitterness and a high level of smokiness, characteristic of the series.
  • Both HuiGan (returning sweetness) and ShengJin (saliva production) occur rapidly, enhancing the drinking experience.
  • However, since 2011, the series has evolved to exhibit lighter smoke and bitterness, making its taste more approachable for general consumers, including those new to the world of puerh tea.

Storage:

  • The 2003 XiaGuan "Te Ji" Tuo has been naturally stored in Guangzhou, allowing for a gradual and favorable development of its complex flavors and aromas over time.

The "Te Ji" series stands as a testament to XiaGuan's commitment to innovation and quality, offering a unique and enriched tea experience that appeals to both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers to puerh tea.

Background:

  • "Te Tuo" (特沱): A special grade Tuo Cha made from high-quality tea leaves, rich in tiny buds and young leaves.
  • "Jia Tuo" (甲沱): The first-grade Tuo Cha, known for its higher ratio of young and large leaves.
