Xiaguan Te Ji Tuocha (Special Grade)

The premium grade of Xiaguan's signature tuocha shape, made from earlier-spring and higher-elevation material than the standard Jia Ji (Grade A) line. Te Ji (特级) literally means Special Grade. Sharper aromatic profile when young, with sustained ageing potential for collectors.
