Experience the enhanced classic: the 2025 Xiaguan "Special Grade" (Te Ji) Raw Puerh Tuo. This 100g tea cake represents a significant material upgrade from the traditional Bian Zhuang Te Tuo recipe, now featuring an increased proportion of large-tree tea leaves.
Crafted into a perfectly rounded tuo with ideal compression, it showcases prominent silver buds (bai hao), glistening with a rich luster. The liquor brews to a bright, clear golden hue, exuding a pure, intense fragrance accompanied by a delightful honey aroma that infuses the brew.
The taste is mellow and rich, offering a harmonious and complex mouthfeel. As you savor each sip, the honey notes become more pronounced. The wet leaves are a testament to quality: fine, tender, and soft, with a vibrant yellowish-green color, plump, full-bodied, and remarkably intact.
The "Special Grade" Tuo is presented in a premium, textured tin box adorned with subtle embossed patterns, elevating the classic Rouge Tuo aesthetic. Each individual tuo is wrapped in cotton paper featuring a hand-drawn tea craftsmanship pattern, reflecting the artisan's dedication and making it a practical and visually appealing piece.
