Wild Grown tea leaves from Gao Jia Mountain. This is the original An Hua tea varietal thats has grown in the mountains of Gao Jia Shan and Yun Tai Shan for centuries (maybe longer). Gao Jia Shan is both a place and the name of the tea factory brand that produced this lovely tea. Gao Jia Shan as a producer doesn't have as long of a history as Yi Yang and Bai Sha Xi tea factories but nonetheless produces very high quality Fu Brick tea processed in the traditional manner.

The tea was fermented with a few days of wet piling, and then pressed into bricks. After pressing the golden flowers flourish in the inner section of the brick where the conditions are just right to support them. After a few days the Golden Flowers have thrived and spread throughout the inner part of the bricks, and then the bricks are dried gradually using a temperature of 37C which preserves gradually halts the spread of the flowers without damaging them or the tea leaves.

"IM MORE THAN JUST REVIEW"

Great clean taste, sweet and

"Great clean taste, sweet and strong returning flavor. No funkyness, no bitterness."

— Matei T. (5/5)

Not for me

"I love Hong cha and hei cha. This has notes of both, but for me has blunt and muted flavour compared to the much more complex quan liang cha. I'll try aging the rest of my sample. Perhaps it will develop in a few years."

— Sam S. (4/5)

Whoa, just like you sniff at the foundation of a mellow autumn floor.

"The Tea is very good, it was my first Fu Brick Sample and i think i will trie more of these kind of tea. The tea cannot be overbrewed, is sweet with a taste of herbal and menthol notes."

— Markus D. (4/5)

Pleasantly interesting!

"This is the first fu brick tea I've tried and I was pleasantly surprised by it! Upon opening the 50g bag I got it smelled very much like a black tea. Almost a deep dark chocolatey sweetness. Tiny yellow spots could be seen on the compressed pieces. The taste is pleasant with no astringency no matter how long you brew it. Brews up a nice golden yellow hue and will even become red if steeped long enough. There is a definite drying sensation but yet it leaves the mouth salivating for more. There are faint sweet notes reminiscent of a Liu bao but overall this is more the flavor notes found in good black teas. An interesting tea that I may very well buy a full brick of in the future!"
