Savor the classic Xiaguan flavor at its finest. Our tuocha delivers a rich, complex aroma with woody and floral notes, complemented by subtle hints of bitterness and smokiness that have softened beautifully over years of optimal aging.

First introduced in the 1950s, Xiaguan's Jia Ji (Superior Grade) tuocha remains a timeless favorite, and should be consider the golden standard of tuocha.
