Pu Erh Mini Tuo Cha
Pu'erh Mini Tuo Cha is a type of fermented tea that originates from Yunnan Province, China. It is known for its unique fermentation process, which involves the action of molds, bacteria, and yeasts on the harvested tea leaves. This tea is characterized by its earthy and spicy flavor profile, often described as rich and full-bodied. - Form: The tea is pressed into small nest shapes, known as "tuo cha" or "bird's nest tea," which makes it convenient for brewing. - Production: The tea leaves undergo a solid-state fermentation process where water activity is low to negligible. This process involves both endo-oxidation (enzymes derived from the tea leaves) and exo-oxidation (microbial catalyzed) of tea polyphenols. The microbes metabolize the carbohydrates and amino acids present in the tea leaves, contributing to its distinct flavor and aroma. - Brewing: The tuo cha is typically "rinsed" with a short infusion in hot water before being steeped for 2-5 minutes at 208蚌. This tea can be enjoyed for several infusions.
