1984 Xia Guan Raw Tuo Cha
1984 Xia Guan Raw Tuo Cha
Xia Guan Tea factory is famous for its tuo cha and this vintage is one of the very best puerh teas. They are great favorites among collectors because an old school tuo cha like this one is tightly compressed and can age and improve for many decades. Full bodied and sweet with delightful fresh mix of wood, flower and dry plum. The tea develops well through each successive brew, the aroma becomes more pronounced and begins to round off after the 4th brew.
