From Yunnan Sourcing

This classic “jin cha” or mushroom tuo is made entirely from Certified Organic ripe pu-erh tea, harvested in the Wu Liang mountains of Simao. Nan Jian tea factory is based in Nan Jian township just north of the Wu Liang mountains and uses certified organic tea leaves from the region to compose their raw and ripe tea cakes.

These lovely mushroom tuo were aged in the warm mist shrouded climate of Nan Jian. This aging has imparted a thick and sweet ripe tea that soothes the throat and warms the belly. Very smooth tea with a burgundy red tea soup.

Certified Organic by OFDC China

250 grams per tuo (3 tuos per bag option also available)

This came as a selection in the last Yunnan Sourcing dark tea order. I’m surprised that I’m the first one to review it.

What a wonderful shu, I love it. I did a quick rinse but from the first steep it is really mellow with chocolate notes. I wonder if there is something about the mushroom name of the tea that lends itself to a mushroom flavor? Because this tastes a lot like Shiitake mushroom to me. It has a sweet flavor with a really creamy aftertaste. I am so glad I got to have this in my selection of the month. I would definitely recommend trying it! Summer yummy.
