Raw Toucha Pu-erh Tea from Xiaguan Tea Factory is one of the factory’s most iconic compressed forms, recognizable by its characteristic “nest” shape that supports stable aging and slow, even flavor development. This sheng pu-erh is made from leaves sourced from the Dali region and reflects the classic “Xiaguan style” - a tea that, in its youth, is strong, lively, and aromatically intense, with pronounced grassy-herbal notes, a subtle smoky edge, and clear minerality.

The infusion is pale golden to slightly green, clean and bright, while the aroma combines hints of fresh wood, dried herbs, light florals, and the sharpness typical of young sheng. On the palate, it is energetic and direct, with balanced astringency and a mild bitterness that gradually transitions into a gentle natural sweetness on the finish.

As it ages, Raw Toucha becomes softer, warmer, and more rounded, losing its initial sharpness and developing the layered complexity for which Xiaguan pu-erh is known - making it well suited both for collecting and long-term enjoyment.
