Typically during fermentation process to make ripe pu-erh there is a pile of tea about 1 meter high. It is kept wet to allow the fermentation process and the pile is turned every few days to allow for an even degree of fermentation, moving the tea from the bottom of the pile (where it is hotter and wetter) to the top of the pile where it is cooler and drier. The \"cha tou\" are the leaves that ball up and get stuck together. The best cha tou are ones that have not been over-fermented and are smaller in size (like these).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 Grams","offer_id":44668320776391,"sku":null,"price":7.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams","offer_id":44668320809159,"sku":null,"price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams","offer_id":44668320841927,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams","offer_id":44668320874695,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram","offer_id":44668320907463,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/files\/DSC_1013.jpg?v=1730648871"},{"product_id":"2010-chunhai-jin-ya-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cake-of-menghai","title":"2010 Chunhai \"Jin Ya\" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake of Menghai","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Kunming aged ripe from a classic Menghai area tea factory!
