he V93 ripe tuocha is a well-known and loved ripe puerh from the Dayi (aka Mengha) Tea Factory. First released in 2005, Dayi produced this tea with the intention of offering an elevated shou puerh in a tuocha format. Typically tuocha teas are known to be somewhat inferior to caked teas, but this particular formulation was made in part to dispel that idea.
Dayi used quite small leaves for this tea, with a lighter fermentation to preserve some of the stimulating qualities of raw puerh. The compression is also fairly light, which frankly is much appreciated as prying open tea from a tuocha can be really challenging sometimes.
This tea has been very cleanly aged in Taiwan. The aromas of the dry leaf reveal classic chocolate and dark fruit leather notes (cherry), while the wet leaves give a bit of brandy, almost fruitcake-like aromatics. The liquor is quite smooth with a bit of a crisp, snappy feeling to it. There is a bit of a chocolate quality in the background of the infusion, but overall this aged V93 is more of a dark fruit vibe.

PuerhShop.comFinal tea from my TSR order. Been meaning to try this shou for awhile as it’s on the lighter side of fermentation and is well-loved. I don’t sample shou as much anymore, but I think for the price, this is really nice and I’ll probably have to get a tuo. I just need to try it a couple more times before making up my mind.
This one tastes and smells more distinct than many of the shous I’ve had. Fruitier and less earthy, with a more potent sweetness and more interesting nose. I quite like it!
