The Metropolitan Tea Large Toucha Loose Leaf Tea offers a fascinating taste of Yunnan’s centuries-old compressed tea tradition. Made from large-leaf green tea, this distinctive Toucha delivers a faint origin character with subtle earthy and musty notes, producing a light cup with an intriguing character.

Its unusual shape and rich heritage make it an excellent choice for adventurous tea drinkers and collectors alike.
