Ancient Seven:
Aged Mandarin Puerh
Mini Tuo Cha
Qty:
Description
In traditional Chinese culture, the number seven represents the combination of Yin, Yang and Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth). This combination is considered “harmony” in Confucianism. In Chinese Taoism, it stands for
Tao
which has a close connection with kindness and beauty.
Teahouse Gaiwan
A porcelain gaiwan is the classic teaware used for Chinese Gong Fu Cha. It has three parts: the lid, representing Heaven, the saucer
representing
Earth, and the bowl in between represents us humans. Altogether it represents the harmony between heaven, human and earth.
Mini Dark Puerh Tuo Cha
These individually wrapped, single-serve mini puerh tuo cha cakes are a convenient way to have your puerh on the go. Enjoy the pleasure of this finely aged
shou
puerh where ever your day takes you. Seven mini tea cakes are included in the set.
Aged Mandarin Puerh
Produced in 2017 with 15-year-old Puerh tea, this
puerh
collectable is crafted with small mandarins that are hollowed out by hand, then filled with premium
puerh
tea. The tea-filled mandarins are then wrapped, allowing the tea to age and absorb some of the fruitiness. The mandarin peels become more fragrant and flavorful as they age. Aged mandarin peels increase in as puerh does.
Three mandarin puerhs are included in the set.
Preparation
Gently crumble one piece of mini tuo cha or mandarin puerh or simply place one of them into a teapot or gaiwan. Quickly flush (cover the leaves with hot water and pour it off) and appreciate the aroma of the wet leaves. Then infuse with near-boiling water for 1-3 minutes and serve. Puerh tea generally will yield multiple infusions.
