The other side of tea

2006 Xiaguan Jia Ji Tuocha

12.00 40.00 

The Xiaguan ‘Jia Ji’ tuocha we offer is a unique raw sheng cha that harks back to a recipe developed in the early 1950s. It is a top-quality classic sheng puerh consisting mainly of tender buds and young leaves. This very good seventeen-year-old tuocha with the typical character of Xiaguan teas was stored under natural conditions in Taiwan. Dry and slightly rustic in character, rich in texture, subdued and well-built by time-clean aromas bringing camphor wood with a fruity-honey note and very fine acidity. It is a strong tea with a classic profile, in which we find the typical taste of Xiaguan teas. With a maturation period of almost 17 years, this tea has acquired a beautiful woody character and camphor ripening freshness.

Xiaguan is one of the oldest puerh tea factories in Yunnan. Originally named Kangzang, the factory was established in 1939 in the town of Xiaguan (Dali) located in Dali Prefecture. Nationalized in 1950 with the communist takeover, the factory then became Yunnan Province Xiaguan Tea Factory, to be renamed Yunnan Xiaguan Tuocha Company Limited in 1994. Operating for almost 80 years, Xiaguan has produced many teas that have marked the history of pu-erh teas. Some of the most notable are the teas pressed into the shape of a bird’s nest – tuocha, which the Xiaguan factory specializes in.
