2007 old tea nubs Lao Cha Tou is formed during the fermentation process. The leaves under heat and pressure will clump together at the bottom of the pile and form nuggets. Cha Tou are little tea nuggets that are a wonderful byproduct of the fermentation process of Pu-Erh tea. This tea can be infused over 15 times easily.

Yunnan SourcingOk, so I will caveat this review with this brick probably didn’t have the best storage conditions, likely too dry. I have tried to rehydrate it some, and has has improved the flavor, but not enough to really like still. It is mostly a wet wood and wet autumn leaf flavor, with some straggling hints of sweetness. Can’t drink through too many infusions before I want to dump it.
This is my second time sitting down with this tea. Rinsed once before tasting, infused for 10 seconds, and drank 6 infusions. The dry leaf has a warm earthy smell typical of ripe puerh. The wet leaf smells of earth, smoked tree bark, and moss. Taste overall is the same earthiness with smoky bark, but has a surprisingly fresh finish similar to mint. Enjoyed it overall, but once this brick is gone, probably won’t buy again.
Flavors: Bark, Earth, Mint, Smoke
