Sheng Puer "Golden Dragon" 8 g (mini-tocha)

Emotional immersion

In the world of Chinese tea, there are drinks that are like small time capsules. They contain the spring sun, clean mountain air and the aroma of old tea gardens. Sheng Puer "Golden Dragon" in a mini-dochi format weighing 8 grams is exactly such a case. A small pressed pancake, wrapped in a bright yellow wrapper with a traditional Chinese pattern, opens the way to the world of fresh, aromatic and deep tea.

It is convenient to take with you: one tocha – and you are ready for several steeps that will maintain the balance between freshness and strength. This tea is created for those who want to combine simplicity of form with richness of taste. It becomes an ideal choice for both a quick tea party and a leisurely ceremony, where each steep reveals a new shade.

Taste and aroma

Unlike many sheng pu-erhs, which can be too harsh or too woody, Golden Dragon is softer. It has a light, grassy freshness, a soft astringency, and a gentle sweetness that comes through in the aftertaste. It is aromatic but not intrusive, strong but balanced.

Each steeping reveals the tea differently: at first, green freshness dominates, later honey and fruit tones appear, and after several steepings, a transparent golden-amber infusion with pleasant lightness remains in the cup. Such a play of tastes and aromas makes this tea interesting even for experienced gourmets, because it does not tire with monotony.

Origin and Region

Sheng Puer "Golden Dragon" comes from the province of Yunnan - the main tea region of China, where the culture of puer originated. It is here, in the mountains with misty slopes and a clean climate, that tea trees grow, from which the leaves for this variety are collected. Yunnan is known for its diversity of terroirs, and each region gives puer its own special features. "Golden Dragon" combines a balance of young leaves and classical technology, so it preserves the freshness of sheng puer and at the same time has enough depth to be interesting even in a mini-tocha format.

Production technology

Mini tocha weighing 8 g is created by pressing tea leaves into small pancakes. To do this, the leaves are pre-dried, undergo initial fermentation and only then formed into compact round portions. This shape is convenient because one tocha is ideal for one brew, and the compact size makes it easy to store and transport tea.

In addition to convenience, this form has another advantage: leaves pressed in a mini-tocha lose their aroma more slowly, which allows them to retain their freshness and potential longer before ripening. Thus, even a small tocha carries the power of a large pancake.

Effects and sensations

Sheng Puer "Golden Dragon" acts softly but noticeably. It is able to raise the level of vigor, concentration and feel the clarity of thoughts. It does not have a sharp caffeine hit, typical of coffee, instead there is a long-lasting and even energy. This makes it an ideal drink for work, study or creative activities.

In addition, sheng puer is traditionally considered a tea that cleanses the body and helps digestion. Due to its mild tonic effect, it is well suited for the morning, because it wakes you up without overloading, as well as for the second half of the day, when you need to restore strength.

How to brew Sheng Puer "Golden Dragon" correctly

To feel the full versatility of this tea, it is important to follow the basic rules. A mini-tocha weighing 8 g is the ideal dose for a teapot or medium-sized gaiwan. First, the tea needs to be awakened: pour hot water, quickly drain this first infusion, and only then begin brewing. This simple action allows the leaves to open up and remove excess dust.

The water temperature should be between 90 and 95°C. Hotter water will make the taste rougher, and too cool water will not allow the aroma to fully develop. Tea should be brewed in short infusions, from 15 to 25 seconds, gradually increasing the time. The value of this mini-totsa is that it can withstand repeated brewing, and each infusion brings new shades: from grassy freshness to soft honey sweetness.

This sheng puer behaves especially well in clay teapots (Yixing teapots) or in classic gaiwans. But even in a simple glass teapot it will show its beauty - the infusion is golden, transparent, with a pleasant aroma reminiscent of a spring garden after rain.

Comparison with other sheng puerhs

Many sheng pu-erhs have a sharp grassy note that can scare off beginners. "Golden Dragon" is distinguished by its softness and balance. It is not too astringent, does not clog the receptors with a strong woody taste, instead it sounds polyphonic and harmonious. This is what makes it universal: it will suit both those who are just starting to get acquainted with sheng pu-erhs, and experienced tea drinkers who can appreciate light multi-layeredness.

Compared to large cakes (357 g), this format is more practical. Mini-tocha allows you to easily control the amount of tea, there is no need to break off pieces from a large cake. In addition, the small format allows you to try tea without significant costs, which is convenient for those who want to try several different variations of sheng puer.
