The raw toucha, also known as uncooked green pu-erh nest, is made from compressing 100g of Yunnan maocha green tea. Historically tea compression makes transportation of tea more efficient and easy. This special delicacy is from the Yunnan province. This tea can be stored and allow to age. It is well known that the longer you store Puerh tea the better the quality.

Weight: 100 g (3.5 oz).

Includes: Tea Leaves, Packing Bag.

Quality Guarantee Period: 24 Months.

Home: Yunnan

Leaf: Profoundly dark green, shot with hints of yellow.

Scoop: Sheng pu'er is fermented for only four or five months, and kept a maximum of one or two years before drinking.

Character: Neat little compressed, ball-shaped cakes of cooked puerh give a dark red liquor and an intensely satisfying, multi-layered, earthy aroma and taste that recalls misty autumn woodland and fallen leaves.

Brewing Tips: Opaque yellow, smoky tones on top of a rain-fresh tang, slightly bitter. Brew 1 mini cake in a teapot or cup in boiling water for 1 minute. Strain and add more water for five to six further infusions, brewing for slightly fewer seconds each time more water is added.
