A premium Xiaguan factory production, belonging to the 'Nan Zhao' (南诏) series. For those who find Xiaguan's standard Te Ji and Jia Ji tuocha's too strong, this Nan Zhao tuocha could be the perfect alternative. Due to years of aging it has lost all its aggressiveness and offers a more delicate, sweet and flowery aroma.
This tuocha is also less tightly compressed relative to the standard Xiaguan tuocha's and its made from more premium material consisting of leaves and silver tea buds. The dry tea has a beautiful colour displaying excellent aging.
