Years of natural storage have given it a beautiful woody depth carried by camphoric freshness.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaguan is one of the oldest Pu'er factories in Yunnan, founded in Dali in 1939. They're best known for the tuo cha, tea pressed into a distinctive bird's-nest shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2006 Jia Ji (fine grade using tips and buds) shows the classic Xiaguan character: dry, frank, slightly rustic, with a generous structure and subtle camphor-wood aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe detected attractive notes of rose hip and forest honey that layer over a cool, camphoric freshness, with a touch of fine acidity underneath and a wonderful woody depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaguan teas are especially sensitive to storage conditions. This batch has developed cleaner, more refined aromas than a very dry-stored version would: less smoky, less rustic, with a lighter touch of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're happy to offer this tea from the collection of Olivier Schneider, a tea expert with over 20 years of experience researching Pu'er taste, processing and culture. After a decade in Yunnan, he now lives in Thailand, where he cultivates a centuries-old tea garden and continues to explore and experiment with tea, sharing his knowledge through teaching and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest brewed gong fu style: use a ca. 100ml gaiwan or small teapot with 5-9g of tea (break off as much as needed). Start with a 5-second infusion at 95°C, then add about 5 seconds to each steep that follows. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eproducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xiaguan Factory Yunnan, China \/ from the collection of O.
