Approximately 9 mini cakes (tuo) per 50g. Simply unwrap and drop one of these 10 year old single serving sized cakes into a teapot or cup and let it infuse. Convenient, authentic and delicious.

Like any great cooked puerh, the taste is moreish, earthy, rich and deeply textured with a dark red infusion.

This well rounded puerh has an aroma of wet autumn woodlands and tastes as all high quality cooked puerh should - rich, textured and earthy.

In order to infuse, use 1 tuo per cup and infuse for 1 minute. Re-steep 5-7 times, reducing infusion time as tea unfurls fully.

Appearance

Dry leaf: Small compressed dome of leaf with concave hole in base, wrapped in Menghai stamped tissue.  A combination of dark brown and black leaf strands; the paler leaf strands are deep russet
Wet leaf: A tangle of rich, dark, lustrous black leaf
Liquor: Dark red-copper to warm black

 

Aroma

Dry leaf: Aromatically reticent in its compressed state: warm, burnished and faintly smoky.
Liquor: Invasive, powerful and characterful: forcefully earthy scents with a smoky edge.  Damp wood, autumn undergrowth, timber yard and bonfire, plus a touch of fur and calfskin

 

Flavour

Liquor: After the power and attack of the aromas, and given the depth of colour of the liquor, the gentleness and softness of the flavours come as a surprise.  Mouthfilling, deep and comforting, this is pu-erh provides a rich, nourishing introduction to the taste of the Yunnan tea forests: wood, chocolate, earth, mild roasted spice
