Xiaguan Tuo Cha (下关沱茶), based in Dali, Yunnan, is one of China’s most respected Pu-erh tea producers, known for traditional Tuo Cha, ripe Pu-erh tea, and aged loose-leaf teas. Founded in 1902, Xiaguan played a major role in developing cooked Pu-erh tea and remains a symbol of authentic Yunnan tea heritage and craftsmanship.
In 2024, we launched our Xiaguan Tuo Cha Learning Project to explore the history, flavor, and legacy of this iconic producer, inspired by our dear friend Mr. Zhang Tao.
