China Black Mini Tuocha Black Tea

Tea from Yunnan, in south-east China, where this speciality was born. 'Tuo Cha' literally means 'bird's nest' (tuo) 'of tea' (cha). It has this particular shape because at one stage of the production process it is pressed in a specific mould in different sizes and weights. Its level of theine is more moderate when it is used in unbroken unit form, or higher when it is broken, as theine is more soluble. Theine is a natural stimulant that relaxes muscles, keeps you awake and clears the mind. This particular quality of Black Toucha is composed of whole leaves and sprouts, which increases the antioxidant potential. A tea with a full body and fragrance in line with the black teas of this area, with a medium astringency and sweet aromatic notes and a slightly smoky, cocoa-like air.
