Pu Erh Mini Tuo Cha, Pu Erh tea
An authentic Chinese dark Pu-erh tea compressed into uniquely charming, single-serving "bird's nest" shapes. Delivers a robust infusion balanced by a sweet aroma and deep, earthy-fruity flavor notes. A premium portioned tea that can be re-steeped up to 3 times.
Hornets' Nest, globally celebrated as Mini Tuocha (Mini Bird's Nest), is a unique, high-quality, and visually intriguing dark Chinese Pu-erh tea. Its distinctive name stems from its ancient and practical shape: after the fermentation process, the premium whole leaves are meticulously compressed into small, individual nest or bowl-like portions. Each mini tuocha acts as a perfectly measured single-serving dose, bringing flawless convenience to your tea ritual without the need for measurements or scales.
Upon making contact with hot water, the compressed nest slowly and dramatically unfurls, enveloping the room in a distinctively sweet, comforting aroma. On the palate, it releases an incredibly full-bodied, robust, and rich flavor bouquet defined by smooth woody undertones, hints of dried plums, and a velvety, rounded finish. Free from any harsh bitterness, Mini Tuocha is the ultimate choice for those seeking to explore the traditional world of Pu-erh in its most accessible format. Due to the outstanding density of the pressed leaves, a single nest is exceptionally suited for multiple consecutive steepings.
