It records restructuring in 1994 and 2004, and China Time-honored Brand recognition in 2011. These dates describe different stages; 1902 should not be presented as the registration date of today\u2019s company.<\/p>\n<p>Dali\u2019s role in tea trade and processing helps explain the brand\u2019s identity. It is also important to separate a factory address from a tea\u2019s raw-material origin. A product made in Dali does not, by that fact alone, contain leaves grown only in Dali.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"main-business\">Main business: research, making tea and reaching customers<\/h2>\n<p>Xiaguan\u2019s business brings together tea development, processing, sales and brand communication. The official site presents a product center, sales network, franchise information and tea-learning sections. It lists separate contacts for sales and marketing, alongside the administrative office.<\/p>\n<p>For consumers, that means checking an identifiable product and batch rather than relying on a brand name alone. For a trade buyer, product type, sample, quantity, packaging and delivery requirements are the starting points for an enquiry. A company profile is an introduction, rather than an offer of stock or a statement that Sandao represents the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"main-products-and-characteristics\">Main products and their characteristics<\/h2>\n<div class=\"xg-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Product family<\/th>\n<th>What makes it distinct<\/th>\n<th>What to check<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xgtea.com\/cnPc\/tc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuocha<\/a><\/td>\n<td>A rounded compressed form with a hollow underside; the catalog includes both raw and ripe pu-erh.<\/td>\n<td>Raw or ripe designation, weight, year and batch.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xgtea.com\/cnPc\/bc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tea cakes<\/a><\/td>\n<td>A flatter, usually round compressed format, listed separately from tuocha.<\/td>\n<td>The tea inside the cake, rather than shape alone.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xgtea.com\/cnPc\/zc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tea bricks<\/a><\/td>\n<td>A block-shaped format that makes a compact unit for handling and storage.<\/td>\n<td>Ingredients, processing category and production information.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xgtea.com\/cnPc\/jc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jincha and other compressed teas<\/a><\/td>\n<td>The official catalog keeps a dedicated jincha section and an additional \u201cother\u201d category.<\/td>\n<td>Each item\u2019s specification and intended preparation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Tuocha is a shape, not another word for ripe tea.<\/strong> A nest-shaped product can be raw or ripe pu-erh.

Photograph: Xiaguan Tuocha official website.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These are examples of how the company organizes products, not a promise that every pack is currently available. With similarly named products, compare the year, processing type and exact package. A place name printed in a product title should not be expanded into a more detailed sourcing claim without that batch\u2019s supporting information.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"taste-and-selection\">Choosing between raw and ripe pu-erh<\/h2>\n<p>Raw pu-erh can offer a lively aromatic profile and noticeable astringency, particularly when young. Ripe pu-erh is generally chosen for a rounder, deeper drinking style. Individual batches, storage and brewing can change those impressions considerably. Neither category automatically guarantees a particular aroma or superior quality.<\/p>\n<p>Start with a small quantity and the product\u2019s brewing instructions. Break a compressed tea carefully into a manageable portion, then adjust leaf amount and infusion time to taste. A tightly pressed shape is not a quality score, and an older date does not by itself establish sound storage.<\/p>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/xiaguan-tuocha-golden-tea-in-glass-cup.webp\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1150\" alt=\"Golden tea in a glass cup on the Xiaguan Tuocha official website\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Golden tea in a glass cup on the Xiaguan Tuocha official website.

Its significance lies in the making tradition, not in a claim that every product is made entirely by hand. Modern production and inherited skills can sit within the same business.<\/p>\n<p>For the buyer, clear origin and batch information, suitable storage and a flavor you enjoy remain practical priorities.
