"Jia Ji" Tuo, an exceptional Puerh Raw Tea (Sheng Cha) that harks back to the origins of a blend recipe conceived around 1951. This Tuo is a meticulous selection of high-grade materials, primarily consisting of tender buds and young leaves, which are the epitome of quality in tea production.

Upon infusion, the "Jia Ji" Tuo reveals its distinct smoky character, a nod to the traditional processing methods that impart a rich and robust flavor profile. The tea possesses a thickness and strength that is immediate and gratifying, commanding the attention of your palate from the very first sip.

The fragrance is an integral part of this tea's allure, enveloping the senses with its aromatic complexity. The Huigan, a swift returning sweetness characteristic of superior Sheng Cha, emerges rapidly following the initial taste, balancing the apparent bitterness that is appreciated by aficionados for its invigorating properties.

With only a slight or minor pungency, the tea manages to assert its presence without overpowering, instead encouraging a harmonious flow of saliva, a testament to its quality and the skill with which it has been crafted.

The "Jia Ji" Tuo is not just a beverage; it's an invitation to explore the depths of traditional Puerh tea. Whether you're a seasoned tea drinker or new to the world of Sheng Cha, the XiaGuan "Jia Ji" offers a taste of the authentic, time-honored Pu'er experience, replete with all the complexities and nuances that have made this style of tea a cherished brew for generations.

The dry leaf has a little fruit and dried apple to it. I am thinking 10 years old maybe the smoke is gone. It was till I hit it with the rinse, poured it out and opened it up to inhale the aroma and it pops your senses.
Color is an almost bronze but I have 6 year old tea with more color. Probably due to XG’s tight compression. The brew is definitely full on puerh.
Full on woody, smoky, tannic ,citrus and bitter notes. The first 2 cups have been strong and punchy. It gives the slightest hits of sweetness as a quickly fading taste at the end of the swallow. It gives a nice feeling with a warming sensation as you finish.
Not for ones that don’t like smoke but it would be a nice one for those that don’t mind that or the bitterness of it.
