Explore a very unique selection of what is known as one of the original "post-fermented" teas, Hei Cha. Taste a curated selection of Liu Bao, Fu Brick, Qian Liang, Tian Jian, and Hei Cha Zhuan, and develop an appreciation for the distinct aroma, flavor and mouthfeel of these amazing teas.

This type of tea is very old, going back into history as one of the original "post-fermented" teas. Here we have tea leaves that are piled up and fermented using different kinds of post-production techniques. The result is the characteristic "golden flower" or tiny fungus that creates a rather unique therapeutic brew of sour-sweet tea.** This tea is also aged similarly to pu-erh and has become increasingly popular. We entreat you to try this lesser-known type of fermented tea!

**Because there is a possibility the golden flowers were inoculated using wheat flour we cannot guarantee this tea is safe for those with Celiac Disease or those who have severe gluten-induced allergies ** 

Here's the 6 teas that you'll get in this sampler!

50 grams - 2019 Gao Jia Shan "Golden Prosperity Pig Cometh" Fu Zhuan Tea
50 grams - 2019 Mojun Fu Cha "Mojun Yi Hao" Fu Brick Tea
25 grams - 2006 "Yao Xiang" Aged Liu Bao Tea

Amazing

"If new to HeiCha, this is definitely the go to sample pack. Has plenty variety no just in taste but in preparation. Some of the teas are perfectly happy to be boiled for example. :)"

Matjaz M. (5/5)

The best tea

"I got the selection of a key samples from them. I got the sample of green tea and oolong tea. I love all kinds of selections that they have I will definitely order them again once all my tea runs out . And also shipping time was quick enough even that was our international shipping process. I’m quite happy about that."

Not only a good introduction but also delicous!

"I'm new to hei cha as a whole but loved pu erh. This sampler has given me a good taste of several different kinds for a very reasonable price. All of them have been winners in my book! The liu bau is my favorite... expect a purchase of some soon!"

Fabulous tea!!!

"I'm thoroughly pleased with my first shipment of assorted teas! It was difficult to choose from the wide selection, but I'm particularly happy with the Hei Cha Sampler. There is a decent amount of each variety to experience the really interesting and unique tastes of this wonderful tea. I'm more of a tea aficionado than an expert, the teas in my first order have been thoroughly enjoyed, so fun! I really appreciate the work that has gone into sourcing the teas featured on this site, and the thorough and helpful descriptions! The shipment was very well packaged, and arrived quickly after ordering. I'll definitely be ordering again!"

Hei Cha Sampler * Guangxi Liu Bao, Hunan Fu Brick and Tian Jian

"I had liked two grades tea:2012 Gao Jia Shan "Wild Tian Jian" and 2016 Gao Jia Shan "Da Sheng Fu" Fu Brick Tea from Hunan. These are my flavoring addictions and tea to me it was pleasant at that time. Samplers need to be bought it is necessary. You will have an idea of tea and you will make a choice of a grade of tea. I for myself have opened a new type and a grade of tea. I recommend to buy by everything samplers."
