Pressed in 2005, it now has more than two decades of storage behind it, and you can see it straight away in the very dark leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt only 100 g, the tuocha is pressed extremely tight in the classic Xiaguan style. Even the slightly worn, old-school wrapper adds to its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith aged sheng like this, the sharp bitterness of youth has given way to a deeper, drier, woodier and calmer profile. The tight compression means it opens slowly, so give it a rinse and let the first infusions run a little longer. Expect aged wood and dried fruit, a light camphor and gentle smoky note typical of aged Xiaguan, and a returning sweetness in the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA characterful piece of aged Xiaguan for anyone curious about what twenty years do to a raw pu-erh, and a fine collector's tuocha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheng Pu-erh tea, Raw Pu-erh, aged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAged wood, dried fruit, light camphor, gentle smoke, returning sweetness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAged wood, camphor, light smoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMature, calm, tightly compressed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMorning, daytime, focused tea sessions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGongfu cha, Western style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXiaguan Tea Factory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlready well-aged, stable to keep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDali, Yunnan, China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuocha (bowl-shaped compressed tea)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Lucy Wang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64954874855801,"sku":"LW-Sheng-06","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/xiaguan-final-01-packaging.png?v=1792614855","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/products\/xiaguan-sheng-pu-erh-tuocha-2005-100g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
