Commercial Description:

A compressed version of Pu-erh that tends to be slightly mellower than the loose leaf version. The raw Pu-erh leaves are compressed into a tiny ball and then slightly aged or oxidized. Each Tuo Cha weighs approx. 5 grams. Although classified as black teas,due to the dark steep color, pu-erh teas in actuality are closer to being fermented green teas.
