Dayi ‘Lucky’ Toucha | 2020 sheng puerh

The tea’s journey begins with careful picking from the pristine tea gardens of Xishuangbanna, where each leaf is a promise of the region's rich, unspoiled terroir. The result is a brew that glistens with a light, golden hue, a reflection of its youthful vitality. As you sip, the tea greets you with a lively astringency that dances on the palate, gradually evolving into a smooth, lingering aftertaste. Subtle vegetal notes intertwine with delicate floral undertones, creating a harmonious flavor profile that promises an evolving complexity as it ages.

Encased in an elegantly designed gift box that pays homage to the traditional tea-making process, the Dayi ‘Lucky’ Toucha is more than just a tea—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage. This exquisite presentation makes it not only a delightful introduction to Sheng Puerh but also a cherished gift for any tea aficionado.
