Tuocha 沱茶 denotes Pu'er pressed into the shape of a nest or bowl. It is one of the basic shapes into which Pu'er is traditionally pressed. The package usually consists of 5 pieces wrapped in bamboo or paper. However, the usual traditional weight is 250g in recent years, and due to the increased interest in Pu'er and its higher exports, smaller nests can usually be found, usually weighing 100g or 50g. However, these small nests are not commonly available on the Chinese market because there is no demand for them.
