Pu’er Tuo Cha
The same smooth, rich, full-bodied shu Pu'er as our popular Pu'er Classic, pressed into traditional nest-shaped cakes. A format built for travel and perfectly sized for a single teapot.
One of the first teas to travel beyond its native growing region in Yunnan, Pu’er was compressed into cakes to withstand long journeys to places like Tibet and Mongolia, where it was traded for horses and other goods in ancient times.
A compact version of our beloved Pu’er Classic, Pu’er Tuo Cha brings this time-honored tradition to your brewing ritual today. It is harvested in remote Dai, Lahu and Wa ethnic mountain villages in southern Yunnan Province, where heirloom broadleaf tea varietals have developed an unmatched complexity through centuries of seed propagation. Crafted with a bespoke blend of vintages, it has a remarkably warming, woodsy character and an aroma that many liken to petrichor—the smell of earth after a fresh rainfall.
Mellow yet powerful, each individually wrapped cake can be brewed multiple times, offering a flavorful journey in one serving. Take it with you and feel grounded wherever you go.
