Longyuanhao Workshop only pressed a few thousand of these 100g Tuochas, a special collaboration with the Menghai Tea Research Institute back in 2006 in the heyday of the pu’er boom market. Wang Yanxin was able to secure a few dozen Tuochas back in 2008 thanks to her relationship with Longyuanhao Workshop, and is pleased to release them from her cellar after nearly 20 years of climate-controlled aging. This tea has beautiful notes of nutmeg, cardamom, cooling camphor, citron and passionfruit, with a sweet ginger molasses cookie aftertaste.

Wang Yanxin also recommends:
'Most pu’er does become more complex over time. Astringency mellows out, darker and richer flavors come through. Textural complexities become more pronounced. Starting with an intriguing young pu’er of high quality with lots of textures and flavors at play will increase your chances of graceful aging.'
