mini Toucha is the smaller sibling of our large Toucha pods. This ancient variety of tea is made from a Yunnan large leaf varietal, Camelia Assamica, and is actually a variety of Pu-erh. The pods themselves are made by taking the processed green leaves, steaming them, and then pressing them into small bowl-shaped forms. The process is quite laborious as each pod must be pressed by hand.

Mini Toucha pods, like all Pu-erh teas age exceptionally well – in China it is not that uncommon to find processed tea in local Yunnan tea shops that has been aged for 25 years or more! When infused the tea has a mild musty character that to connoisseurs is immediately identifiable as Yunnan Pu-erh. To the initiated, this character can be surprising and remind one of the smells of fresh earth. It is also because of this character that the tea is known in some parts of China as “Earth tea.”

As with many green teas, and especially Pu-erh teas, mini-Toucha pods can be infused multiple times. The next time you brew up a pot pay close attention to the flavor profile of the cup. Much like re-reading a novel, or watching a movie again, you will discover that while the fundamental character remains, the subtle nuances of flavor will change slightly from cup to cup – a subtle mustiness here – a milder sweetness there. This is truly one of the Yunnan provinces most compelling brews.

    I was very surprised when the tea came it. It almost seemed like little jewels wrapped in fine tissue. I had to brew the tea and find it sure was priceless like a jewel. The tea has a wonderful flavor. But anyone wholikes to get this tea, needs to brew it for the correct time, to get a taste of it. It is a wonderful hot beverage, especially for those, who prefer to go low on caffeine.

    Pu Erh tea is my favorite every day tea. I replaced my black tea consumption with this tea. It has much less caffeine and I am able to drink it at night and then sleep good, which I am not able to do after drinking a black tea. It has some earthy flavor, which I needed to get used to, but I read that it has many health benefits and now drink it all day long. I consume 2lb bag within a 2 month or so and get great saving by buying pu-erh tea from Primatea store in bulk. Like the service and the quality of this tea. It is an inexpensive variety of pu-erh and I buy it for daily consumption. A different tea for my wife though, she likes the sweet fruity or flavored tea, so we trying the new one with every purchase. she loves them all. Keep up good work guys! Thanks for great tea.
