Xiaguan Tuo Cha - Raw Puerh tea - 100 grams - 2005

The textured mouthfeel of this shou is incredible! From the first infusuion you feel its density - silky and fuuull, spreading through the entire mouth and setting into oily, kind of waxy afterfeel... Yeah, afterfeel - as this tea is more about sensetions that unfold through the session...

The flavor profile leans toward deep earthy notes. Very grounded character, so dense but clean. And in the later infusions, especially when brewed a bit cooler, the profile shifts toward dark chocolate tones becoming rounder and softer

That brick become one of my favorites so fast after recieving the batch from Alexandre and the half of it went out very very quickly as its creamy earthy profile is sooooo addictive

This shou presents a dense, deeply woody profile. Mature wood notes emerge - full-bodied and gently enveloping

The liquor feels clean and clear and goes to nice orange tone after 6 brews while maintaining its dense woody characterr with increasing sweetness in each infusion

In the aftertaste sweet, silky cocoa unfolds - smooth and refined, like dark chocolate slowly melting on the tongue🙂‍↔️

P.S. the tea is really dense and can easily replace a meal:)

Just finished last 5g of this brick today morning so its a perfect time for a review

When it first arrived, maybe like 6-7 omonths ago, the tea showed his tannic stucture power and was super sharp BUT after few weeks of "resting" on the shelf it really opened up - the body become smoother, rounder and pleasant

With weekly sessions over the course of month the tea gradually reveled its character. Personally, I found it more enjoyable after the meals. The earthy base opened with cocoa depth and transitioned into a gentle tannic structure with a touch of sweetness, and overall remaining its round and deeply layered structure

I had never experienced that noticeable tannins in shou before this brick, so at first they felt a bit unusual. Through the time and explorings this and other shou they become very familiar. Lightly drying sensation in the mouth which arrived gently and faded quickly

For this price point, the experience you get feels muuuuuuuuch muuuuch more than fair

Appreciete you Alexandre!

A cup of this tea will not leave you indifferent. This is one of my favorites. There should always be such kindness. This is not my first brick, and I really recommend it to both connoisseurs and beginners. 👍👍👍Thank you! ☺️

I know that this raw puer has a wonderful taste of medium saturation and quite powerful and at the same time soft effect. Thank you Alexander for the constant quality! I recommend this tea to every connoisseur of truly high-quality healthy and invigorating drinks.

I have been a tea drinker for many years now, reading a lot about tea.
I was looking for tea pu erh resine since I’ve never tasted it.
That’ s how i found the «  crème pu erh cuit » on Alexandre website «  le meilleur thé de Chine ».
I really enjoyed drinking this crème de thé!
It taste like fermented tea no doubt about it , and it is very easy to prépare .

Great tea 🫖! I consider this option to be one of the most optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. Delicious taste, pleasant aroma and very noticeable effect. It feels like this product is really useful!

Discovered Chinese Resin Tea quite recently so went to the top-of-the-tree to compare. It took a while to tune in to various teas but I can now confidently say that this falls into that top category, quite delightful tea but the price is a bit of a stretch. Is it worth it? Yes, I will likely be tempted at some point again, I would suggest that you will never know what you missed until you try it.

Great product. Excellent taste, quality, and effect. A real raw Puerh. Connoisseurs will appreciate and understand what we are talking about! 👌🙂

I'm very satisfied. 😊 I really liked this tea. It is very dense and long-playing. Great taste, and the aroma already guarantees the quality.! 💪One of my favorites.

Great product. High quality combined with a rich aroma, such a unique taste, and an unforgettable aftertaste provides you with an equally unforgettable experience. I recommend this tea! 🫖 that's what you need. An important clarification - do not abuse otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep and you will have to move a lot... 😁👍
