2010 Cha Yu Lin "Lao Tong You Xiang" Hunan Fu Brick Tea

Cha Yu Lin is a small An Hua area tea producer that produces their own Fu Cha, Tian Jian and Qian Liang (and Bai Liang) Cha. They have been producing teas under this brand since 2005. Their attention to care and detail in their productions is admirable and we are proud to be able to offer this incredibly delightful Fu Brick!

This 800 gram tea brick is composed entirely of spring harvest material Liu Bu Xi Village in An Hua county of Hunan （about 20km west of An Hua, here). The tea was fermented, then pressed into bricks where 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, the bricks are dried gradually using a temperature of 37C which gradually halts the spread of the flowers without damaging them or the tea leaves. 

High quality tea leaves, expert processing, and several years of aging come together to make this a very enjoyable Fu Brick! The tea is thick and sweet, with notes of fruit, hay, and honey. The tea soup is orange-red in color!

This is a tea that benefits greatly from brewing with very long steeps and just off a boil hot water. We also recommend brewing this in the SAMA flasks for excellent results!
