If you know BTTC well, you’ll surmise that we far prefer good texture in teas over flavor-forward teas – as do most tea masters/aficionados in the world. We look for teas that are both smooth and oily and although I’m generally not a big fan of “Mini tuo” pu-erhs, this one is a winner!
Around 20 years of Taiwan Natural Storage has given this tea great color, weight, and smoothness. It’s got some humidity on the nose but that will dissipate in time if you prefer it that way.
We package these with a vacuum seal so you can choose if you want to drink it au naturel or let it air out if you prefer. Good stuff! Very smooth and slurpy.
The tea leaves were chopped up prior to pressing (so they could be pressed into this shape) so you’ll need a strainer.
