Xiaguan has long been celebrated as the benchmark producer of tuo-shaped Pu-erh, known for its tightly compressed form, exceptional aging stability, and unmistakable regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shou (cooked) Pu-erh was crafted using the traditional \u003cem\u003ewo dui\u003c\/em\u003e fermentation (wet-piling fermentation) method, where carefully selected Yunnan large-leaf tea is gently pile-fermented to develop depth, smoothness, and microbial complexity before being steamed and compressed into the iconic bowl-shaped tuo. Over more than two decades of natural aging, the tea has mellowed beautifully, developing a rich, harmonious profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, this 2004 Xiaguan Tuo reveals a deep, clear mahogany liquor with a distinctive red ginseng aroma, warm, slightly medicinal, and subtly sweet. The flavour is rounded and grounding, with notes of aged wood, dark herbs, and a soft earthy sweetness that lingers on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its flavor, well-aged Pu-erh is traditionally valued for its digestive and wellness benefits. Regularly enjoyed after meals, it is known to help support digestion, reduce heaviness, warm the body, and gently regulate the system—making it both a comforting daily tea and a restorative companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a mature, composed tea with strong inner energy and remarkable smoothness—an excellent expression of Xiaguan craftsmanship and the quiet power of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eVintage: 2004\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 250g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eOrigin: Yunnan, China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eProduct C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003ede\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e PX425\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pu-erh Tea Cakes - Ripe\/Shou 熟餅普洱茶餅","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":47530267509041,"sku":"PX425","price":92.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":47530267541809,"sku":"PX425","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":47530267574577,"sku":"PX425","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Taster 10g","offer_id":47530267607345,"sku":"PX425","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4791\/4301\/files\/LL_04293.jpg?v=1748924077","url":"https:\/\/treasuregreen.com\/en-gb\/products\/2004-xiaguan-cooked-pu-erh-250g-%e4%b8%8b%e9%97%9c%e7%86%9f%e6%b2%b1%e8%8c%b6","provider":"Treasure Green Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
