Xiaguan Tea Factory is a major producer of compressed pu'erh tea, most notably túochá (沱茶, "Bowl-shaped Tea"(?)) and bĭngchá (饼茶, "Disc Tea"). Aged túochá and bĭngchá, particularly those produced in the 1970s and 1980s, are highly valued by collectors. However, while Xiaguan Tea Factory's productions enjoy popularity today, higher production temperatures for their túochá are prompting some concern over the "ageability" of new Xiaguan tuocha.
Xiaguan produces both raw (生茶 shēngchá) and cooked (熟茶, shúchá) varieties of pu'erh.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
—Toni Liebman (20th century)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
