| Xiaguan Tuocha was developed for the first time at Xiaguan in 1902. The Tea was prepared with extra care by using leaves from the improved broad-leaf tea species and it belongs to the series of top grade compressed tea. It is of a bowl-shaped mass of leaves, regular in shape tightly-compressed, with shinny luster and strong scent.
PREPARATION: To prepare Pu-erh tea from Tuocha, it is best to use a strong knife to carefully pry out the desired amount leaves and place in a teapot. Rinse by covering with boiling water and quickly pour off. Cover with boiling water again and let steep 5-30 seconds (depending on how light or dark you want the tea) and serve. Pu-erh tea can be steeped 10-20 times.
