There aren't any tasting notes for this tea yet.
This special little tuocha is made from sun-dried maocha, which is sorted before the dry leaves are steamed. The tea is then wrapped in small, cone-shaped cotton fabric bags and compressed into tuochas. The fabric is removed and the tuochas are left to dry.
The tea is then infused with local Yunnan herbs called Nuo Mi Xiang Nen Ye which means “Sweet Rice Tender Leaves.” The herb resembles mint with small, fingernail-sized leaves. People of the Dai Minority, who live in Southern Yunnan close to the rainforest, use this herb a lot to cool down during hot, humid days. The recipe is a closely guarded secret because according to Chinese medicine, the Nuo Mi Xiang Nen Yet herb cools the body and amplifies green puer’s cooling properties. Chinese use this tea to detoxify naturally. After this infusion process, the producer wraps each tuocha in paper to produce 4 gram serving sizes that are easy to carry and convenient to travel with. The tea brews up bright amber; it has a heady aroma with a mild flavor and no bitterness.
