This is a lovely production of 2017 spring harvested tea from the wilds of An Hua county in Hunan. The name of the tea "Ya Pan Ye Fang" 崖畔野放 means "wild on the cliff." This describes the terrain of the Yun Tai mountains where this tea grows. Rocky, steep, and wild. Tea trees grow well in this terrain, although picking the tea is quite labor intensive!

The tea is a blend of grade 1-3 (grade refers to leaf size) tea leaves that was expertly processed and pressed. The inner part of the brick is flourishing with golden flowers (Eurotium cristatum).

Incredibly unique Fu Zhuan tea! Light level of smokiness, caramel, fruit, and mushroom broth abound! Smooth and sweet after-taste, with a lubricating mouth feel! Mineral "rock" taste, light bitterness if you push with longer steeps, but very sweet as well. Nice cha qi, not overpowering.

Each Brick is 380 grams. 

Produced by the China Tea Co. (Hunan)

ALLERGEN ALERT!!!   ** Because there is a possibility that this tea has golden flowers in it, and that golden flowers were produced by inoculating wheat flour we cannot guarantee this tea is safe for those with Celiac Disease or those that have severe gluten induced allergies **

Best site I've ordered tea from

"Fantastic selection, and the quality of everything I've ordered has been more than satisfactory. Quicker shipping than an order I placed from a different vendor in China. Make sure you check out the freebies and BOGO deals. Only thing I wish is that the US store had the same selection and prices as the main store, but I understand it's probably due to logistics."

Rich and peppery

"I enjoy the deep, slightly peppery flavour, but sometimes add a few snow chrysanthemum buds to enhance the pepperiness. It's very energising."

Great Tea

"Got this as a free gift in my last order and it is really quite good!"

Peter F. (5/5)

"Buggy" tea

"The taste is very similar to high mountain oolongs in the parts with no golden flowers. When brewin chunks with golden flowers an earthy mushroom taste is aded. Be aware that if you overbrew it a little astringency will arise."

Storm in a teacup

"After one or two steeps I was scratching my head: "What just hit me?" This tea is still very wild and all over the place. A rollercoaster ride of flavour, impressions and sensation. Also the most bitter Fu I've tried so far. Which all bodes well for the future. I'll try to put it away for a few years to calm down, except for those days when I feel like going for a walk in a storm. Cha qi is strong for Fu but not unpleasant. Might one day reach a tranquil zone once it has tumbled down the cliffs for a decade."

Q&A

Hello. In the past I've had some bug infestation from fu cha of these factory (ordered from other seller), the tea was delicioso but with the arrival os spring lots of bugs appeared. I want to know if there is something normal to this kind of tea or if there is something I can do if I order it to prevent bugs to spresd to another teas. Thank you in advance.
Our bricks are not infested with bugs. I recommend you purchase from us in the future. For the bricks you got from another seller, freeze them for a couple of days and then thaw. It won't harm them and they will recover with proper storage.
