Origination: The "Lao Cha Tou" (Old Tea Head) is a unique byproduct of the manual fermentation process known as Wo Dui. During this process, pectin from the tea leaves, combined with pressure and high temperatures within the large fermentation pile, forms chunks that were historically discarded as they couldn't be easily separated. Over time, it was discovered that these chunks offered a unique and appealing tea flavor, characterized by higher sweetness and mellowness compared to general shou cha. Consequently, these chunks were processed and marketed as "Lao Cha Tou." The term "Tou" in Chinese can refer to chunks, and "Cha Tou" (Tea Head) also denotes the individuals responsible for tea production. This product line from DaYi began in 2006.

Taste:

  • Smooth and Thick Flavor: The tea offers a smooth and thick flavor, providing a rich and satisfying drinking experience.
  • Richness and Depth: The taste profile is rich with a notable depth, indicating the quality of the fermentation process.
  • Caramel Sweetness: A distinct caramel sweetness complements the aged tea flavor, making it a unique shou cha.
  • Aged Tea Flavor: The aged tea flavor adds a layer of complexity and maturity to the tea, enhancing its appeal.

Storage:

  • Guangzhou Natural Storage: The tea has been stored naturally in Guangzhou, a storage method that aids in developing its unique flavors and aromas.

Summary: The 2012 DaYi "Lao Cha Tou" (Old Tea Head) Brick is a 250g Puerh Shou Cha Ripe Tea renowned for its unique origin and distinctive taste.
