ORIGIN
China Tea Company ex. Tulin tea factory is in Nan Jian County, Yunnan Province, China. Since 1983, they have produced high-quality pu'er tea using special raw materials harvested in Dali prefecture. The tea material from these places grows high in the mountains; sometimes, the altitude reaches about 2500 meters above sea level, which results in a reputation of special quality and properties. Like Xiaguan, the Nan Jian factory uses similar technologies and treatment methods while producing its special Tuo Tea. This tea is famous for its balanced aroma and sweet taste.

ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry tea leaves have a light, fresh, woody aroma. Hints of damp wood in the scent indicate Hong Kong-style storage. The tea consists of high-quality leaves, primarily large ones. When warmed, the tea leaves reveal a classic Hong Kong flavor, evoking associations with a forest after rain and a countryside house. Once rinsed, the tea leaves unfold with notes of sweet aromatic wood, fresh pastries, and subtle nutty and earthy undertones.

The brewed tea yields a clear, dark amber infusion. The fragrant infusion is smooth and sweet, with pure woody notes that immerse any old tea enthusiast in a festive mood. A slight oiliness in the texture and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste are also good indicators of high quality. The tea can be steeped multiple times, unveiling new nuances and reflections of a woody universe. It has a soft, calming Qi energy and is perfect for any time of day.
