This is a high quality green pu-erh tuocha made to export to Taiwan.
The legend of Xiaguan Tibetan Flame Mushroom Tuocha started in 1941 when Xiaguan Tea factory was established, the tea was dedicated to Panchen (Governor of Tibet), symboling a tribute tea to a Living buddha. The production was interrupted a few times in history. There was a brick form of Tibetan Flame tea introduced in 1955 and in circulation there after. In 1986 there was a request from Panchen himself, asking for resuming the production of Mushroom shaped tea. In 2003, a Taiwanese company commissioned its version of Tibetan Flame Mushroom Tuocha, it then became an instant hit because of its exceptional quality.
