Lao Cha Tou (老茶头）60g

Have you ever heard of Lao Cha Tou?

It is an unexpected product of the fermentation process of ripe Pu'er tea, not something artificially created. During the long fermentation process, the tea leaves naturally stick together due to their rich pectin content, forming these precious nuggets.

Unlike tea paste, Lao Cha Tou reveals the original tea leaves when brewed, allowing you to see the quality and craftsmanship firsthand. Just one or two pieces are enough to brew a large cup, and it is highly durable for multiple infusions. The taste is rich, smooth, and naturally sweet, with the signature soft and mellow texture of ripe Pu'er, developing deeper flavors with each steeping.

As a rare and natural gift, Lao Cha Tou is not easy to come by. 

What Makes Lao Cha Tou So Special?

This 60g pack of Lao Cha Tou (Old Tea Nuggets) is made for true pu'er lovers.
You only need 6 grams per session, which gives you 10 brewing sessions.
Each session can be steeped up to 20 times, meaning 200 cups of tea in total.

At $69 per pack, that breaks down to:

• About $6.90 per session

• Less than $0.35 per cup

Naturally formed during the aging of ripe pu'er, Lao Cha Tou becomes sweeter, smoother, and more comforting with each brew.
It’s the kind of tea that keeps giving — deep, rich, and incredibly satisfying over time.
