China Pu-erh Tuocha

Great for beginners. The term Tuo has two meanings: a small inlet in the course of the river or a bird’s nest. This tea is shaped by pressing Pu-Erh Tea (a Black tea that has been microbiologically fermented) into a bowl-shaped brick. Tuocha Tea is sold the world over as dietary or health tea. Its taste is unusual, slightly earthy, but mild with a dark, reddish-brown liquor. This Shou or Ripe Pu-erh has strong roasted notes of chestnut, with cocoa, tobacco, and brown rice.
