Tuo Cha (沱茶) literally translates to "dome" or "nest" tea and is a reference to its compressed shape. These delightful little cakes are a variant of fermented Pu’Erh (普洱沱茶) tea from Yunnan (云南) Province.

Our Tuo Cha Pu’Erh is a “Shu Cha” 熟茶 (Ripe Pu’Erh) that has undergone accelerated fermentation in order to speed up the ageing process and to mature its flavours. It exhibits a smooth and slightly earthy taste with mild overtones ranging from fruits to dark chocolate, a must-try for those fascinated by mysterious Chinese Pu’Erh teas. 

Aged to perfection for 2 to 3 years, every dome of our Tuo Cha weighs between 4g and 5g, individually wrapped to lock in freshness and serving convenience.

Tuo Cha is perfectly well-balanced, in particular when infused in a Gong Fu Cha ceremony, bringing enjoyable sensations to the palate and eye.

How to Brew

  • Steep for 3-5 minutes according to taste
  • Reuse the cake a further 3-5 times, by simply adding more hot water

Tuo Cha Pu'Erh

I really enjoyed this tea — rich, smooth, and satisfying. The small cakes make it very convenient to brew the right strength. I especially liked the effect: it put me in a calm, focused state for a couple of hours — perfect for work and deep thinking.

Hi! Glad to know the Tuo Cha helped you feel calm and focused during work and deep thinking. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon! Happy sipping!
