The most popular form of pressing puer from the Xiaguan plant is tocha (bowl, nest, dome). It differs from classic forms, such as a pancake or brick, in its compactness. During production, the convenience of this form does not allow the raw material to spoil and mold due to the large area of contact with air. The gold ribbon pressed into the puer is a distinctive quality mark of this brand.
Raw materials for tocha Golden Thread are of the highest grade, with whole, unbroken leaves and buds.
For shu puer of the Pine and Crane brand, a soft, smooth taste and a classic nutty-woody aroma are characteristic. It easily withstands five to six infusions. Tocha from Xiaguan Golden Thread is packed in a branded box, which simplifies its storage conditions. The tocha pressing is dense, but the raw material separates quite easily.
In dry form, the tea leaf has a delicate woody-nutty aroma. When brewed, the aromas of the dry leaf open up and become deeper and more saturated. The color of the infusion is dense, cinnamon-colored. The taste has some sweetness and notes of hazelnut. When brewed by steeping, this pu-erh can withstand 5-6 steeps, becoming as strong as possible in 3-4. But even at the peak of its strength, the taste remains soft, without astringency and bitterness.
Ideal for those who like shu pu-erhs with a woody aroma and flavor profile and without bitterness in the taste.
