These lovely mini tuo have been dry aged in Kunming since 2005.  They were produced by a Menghai area tea factory and are composed of broken leaf ripe tea (高碎茶).  Don't be confused or put off by the leaf grade, as the quality of brewed tea is excellent, as good as many similarly aged cakes or bricks.  This mini tuo can be infused 5 to 7 times (gong fu style) or more without losing much flavor.

An incredibly convenient and tasty aged ripe tea that can be had at an unbeatable price!

Easy to brew!

"Loved it. I'm no expert, but it's incredibly smooth and easy to brew for noobies like myself who loved puerh."

— Jonathan W. (5/5)

Great for everyday drinking.

"It's definitely a low grade cut, tinny pieces that make a bit of a mess when steeping that also consequently steep so rapidly that you only got 2-3 really strong steeps before it gets spent. But it's aged so long that it's really good. It's my second batch because I really like the convenience of the cute serving size packages. The flavor is good for everyday drinking, nothing crazy, right in the middle of things."

Not my favorite but good

"These are rather interesting. Very unlike any other shu I have tried. I have found i like them best tossed in a thermos for a few hours, which has become my go to brewing method for shu. I dont get much in the way of forest floor or mushroom or chocolate or even nuttiness, but what I find is earthy dried stonefruit and camphor. Its not one that I find myself reaching for often, but im glad I have it because of how different it is from anything else in my collection."

Great for grandpa/vacuum brew

"These are pretty good for what they are. The Kunming storage notes are pleasent if you are familiar with it."

— Zack S. (5/5)

Great!

"I ordered four different types of tea, and they all got shipped in one package and it arrived very quickly and was packed very neatly into clearly-labelled resealable bags, and they all taste perfect, so overall a great experience!"
