Description: The Mini Toucha is some historical Pu-erh brand tea made from Yunnan large leaf varietal, Camellia Assamica. Each nest makes tea for 3. It's full-bodied with an indication of oak.
It's made by simmering cleansed fresh leaves and mashing them into little bowl shapes — such laborious love. It has been the Chinese favorite for many years and isn't giving up that hallowed spot anytime soon.
As with many green teas, and especially Pu-erh teas, mini-Toucha pods can be infused multiple times. The next time you brew up a pot pay close attention to the flavor profile of the cup. Much like re-reading a novel, or watching a movie again, you will discover that while the fundamental character remains, the subtle nuances of flavor will change slightly from cup to cup - a subtle mustiness here - a milder sweetness there. This is truly one of the Yunnan provinces most compelling brews.
Mini Toucha's complicated and unique production process, compressed in Silk Road traditional style, dipped in an irresistible kosha blend, gives it an undeniably unique lure. Like many of our quality teas, the Mini Toucha is suitable for vegans and has a low antioxidant level. It's just right for the ones who truly know their tea.
