Ancient Pu-erh Meets Jasmine: A Unique Fermented Tea Experience

Discover the harmonious fusion of earthy fermented Pu-erh and delicate jasmine in our Mini Tuocha blend. Each bird's nest-shaped bundle unfolds to reveal deep, complex layers of flavor - from the rich, mellow earthiness characteristic of ripe Pu-erh to the ethereal floral notes of jasmine. The fermented tea base provides a smooth, full-bodied foundation with hints of leather and aged wood, while the jasmine adds an elegant aromatic dimension that elevates the entire experience.

These convenient single-serving tuochas can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion revealing new depths of flavor. The initial steeping presents bold, earthy notes that gradually soften into sweeter, more floral dimensions. Watch as the compressed leaves slowly unfurl, releasing their stored flavors and aromas into your cup.

Perfect for both Pu-erh enthusiasts and those new to fermented teas, this blend offers an accessible entry point to the world of aged teas while maintaining the sophistication that experienced tea drinkers appreciate.

  • Hot Brewing: Place one tuocha in a teapot or infuser. Heat water to 195-212°F (90-100°C). Pour over the tea and steep for 3-5 minutes for the first infusion. Subsequent steepings can be extended to 1-2 minutes.

  • Cold Brewing: Place one tuocha in 16 oz of cold water and refrigerate for 12-24 hours for a smooth, refreshing brew.

Store in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and sunlight to preserve the tea's qualities.

From Ancient China to Modern Wellness

Pu-erh tea holds a revered place in Chinese tea culture, particularly in Yunnan Province where it originated. Traditionally aged in caves, this dark tea was historically traded along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, becoming more valuable with time. The fermentation process was discovered when tea merchants noticed their tea's character improving during long journeys.

The addition of jasmine represents a modern innovation in this ancient art. Jasmine tea scenting developed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when tea makers discovered that certain flowers could enhance tea's properties. This blend marries these two traditions - the deep earthiness of aged Pu-erh with the refined elegance of jasmine scenting.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Pu-erh is valued for its warming properties and ability to aid digestion, particularly after heavy meals. The tea was often prescribed to balance the body's energy and support overall wellness.
