Nugget Pu-erh (Lao Cha Tou)

Old Tea Nugget or Lao Cha Tou is a very aromatic, dark-brown nugget formed naturally from the compression and heat that occurs during the fermentation process. These nuggets were formed during the processing of Cha Wang, a rich, golden-leaf Pu-erh. "Cha Tou" are leaves that stick together then "ball up" into nuggets yielding a traditional Pu-erh beverage that is dark and sweet. The nugget will slowly open giving a number of steeps.
