ingredients: Chinese black pu-erh tea grown at 5900 feet in the misty Simao region of Yunnan Province. As with other black teas, the pu-erh tea leaves used to make the mini Black Pu-erh Tuocha are fermented before they are pan-fired, which means that black pu-erh has more caffeine, a darker colour and stronger flavour.

For this reason, green pu-erh has a small amount of caffeine and a milder flavour. Sold in packages of 3.
$5.99 per pkg

$8.99 per pkg



pu-erh tea cakes NEW!
Our Pu-erh tea cakes are produced from Pu-erh tea that is grown at high altitudes in Yunnan Province, China. The tea goes through a process of special fermentation, aging, steaming, and compression. It is characterised by a bright red-yellow infusion and sweet, mellow taste.

Pu-erh tea cakes, which are referred to as both pingcha and beeng cha, are “new Pu-erh.” This means that the tea is aged for approximately one year, as opposed to our loose Pu-erh, which is aged for 12 years.

The introduction of moisture at several stages speeds up the aging process. The Pu-erh tea cakes acquire their special properties in a shorter period of time, and do not need to age in caves, as does regular Pu-erh.

New Pu-erh is perfect for cellaring like wine. If you buy the tea cakes and allow them to age, they will increase in value over time, and the depth of flavour will intensify. Some Pu-erh tea cakes have sold for more than USD $30,000 each.

green Pu-erh tea cake | 400g size | $33.75 each
white Pu-erh tea cake | 400g size | $42.50 each
black Pu-erh tea cake | 400g size | $33.75 each



tea bricks
Tea bricks have been manufactured in China for over 2000 years.
The tea is steamed and forced under hydraulic pressure into flat bricks,
reducing the amount of surface area exposed to air. As a result, tea bricks
are ideal for transport and travelled to the farthest reaches of the Chinese
Empire and along the Silk Road on camel caravans. From the 10th to the
beginning of the 20th century, tea bricks were widely used as a form of
currency. In Mongolia and Tibet, brick tea was traded for wool, furs, skins,
musk, horses and medicinal herbs, and remain widely used today. Tea
bricks may have been the first type of tea to reach Russia. Tea bricks
can also be used for decorative purposes.

green tea brick
tea of the mongols
flavour profile: a smoky, pungent and full bodied cup of tea
ingredients: spring flush Chinese green tea from Mt. Lushan
500g size | $30.00 each

black tea brick
tea of the nomads
500g size | $30.00 each

In your paper, you may want to draw a table showing the price list of loose/packaged teas, both wholesale and retail...in this way, you can determine your prices based on how you want to position against your comeptition (cheaper, more expensive or competitive).
