Product Description
The Xiaguan Tibetan Mushroom Tea Cake - Because the Art of Tea is about Good Taste! The Tibetan Mushroom Tea is a favorite because of its unique and cool shape. Where else will you find such a mellow drink in such an awesome presentation? This famous, mushroom-shaped tea comes from the Xiaguan Factory, and each tea cake comes with the Tibetan Flame Neifei paper, indicating the factory. The leaves are prepared according to a deep fermentation recipe: the inner and outer leaves are fermented for 45-55 days. These leaves are not raw, but cooked, and will age spectacularly over the years into an even more mellow Pu-erh. The taste is smooth yet full-bodied. As the leaves age, astringency will decrease, but in the meantime you can counterbalance the green taste by making sure you do not over-steep. Yields several brews if prepared gongfu style.
Note that we are selling this tea in 2 ounce servings, not as full mushrooms. If you are interested in securing a full mushroom, please contact us.
Pu-erh teas are aged before they are consumed, unlike other teas which are meant to be consumed shortly after production. Pu-erh teas are at least 1-4 years old, but can also be aged for more than 50 years! Over this time, Pu-erh teas ferment, which leads to their earthy flavor, as opposed to the flavor of oolong or black teas, which comes from oxidation. Pu-erh teas are unique among tea varieties because they do not lose qualities after a year or two, but rather gain in value, and are classified by connoisseurs by year of production.
