Bee’s Knees Ripe mini tuocha
What’s the buzz, you ask? Bee’s Knees! Another of our “pollinator” series, this ripe mini tuocha brings the goods, that’s for sure.
We chose 2025 picked and processed leaves from one of our favorite growing areas (Meng Song) and we couldn’t be more pleased with the resulting mini tuo. Aromas and flavors of cocoa, dark sugar, dried fruit, lively earthiness and a delicate sweet finish. The mouthfeel is full with just the right amount of tea oils to coat the tongue, leaving the drinker satisfied in body and soul.
Also available in the loose format here!
