From Portal Tea Company, Menghai Tuo Cha No. 18 is a deeply fermented puer aged nine years, known for its strength and grounding character. The brew pours a rich reddish-brown, carrying nutty and malty notes with an earthiness that feels unmatched, like roots drawn straight from the soil.
Taken plain, it is bold and steadying. Paired with cream and honey, or oat milk and brown sugar, the flavor stretches into caramel and smoky oak, lingering warm and long. This is a tea made for gray mornings and heavy skies, the kind that calls for a strong cup to anchor you.
Ingredients: Chinese Puer Tea Size: 1 tea ball
How to Brew: Place one tuo cha in a cup or teapot. Cover with freshly boiled water and steep 3–5 minutes, adjusting to taste. Resteep as desired, aged puer often deepens across multiple infusions.
