{"product_id":"2025-jiu-long-chi-tian-fu-brick-tea","title":"2025 Jiu Long Chi Tian Jian Fu Brick Tea","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"532\" data-start=\"172\"\u003eThis 2025 Jiu Long Chi Tian Fu Brick Tea is a 500 gram brick of traditional Anhua hei cha made from 2024 tea material and pressed in 2025. Produced using traditional processing methods and finished with pinewood open-fire roasting (松柴明火烘焙), this is a warming, steady, deeply traditional Hunan dark tea with a clean and approachable profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1154\" data-start=\"534\"\u003eThe name Jiu Long Chi (九龙池, “Nine Dragon Pond”) refers to a tea-producing area within Anhua County of Hunan, a county long regarded as one of the historic homes of Chinese dark tea. Teas from Anhua are prized for their ability to transform over time, developing richness, depth, and a smooth, comforting character. Jiu Long Chi, as a mountain-area origin within Anhua, evokes the cool, misty, forested environment that gives this style of tea its sense of clarity and regional identity. Even when the processing is traditional and robust, there is still an elegance in the tea that reflects its unique mountain origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1737\" data-start=\"1156\"\u003eThis tea is immediately appealing in both aroma and taste. The brick is tightly and neatly pressed, with an even surface and a handsome, substantial feel in the hand. Once brewed, the liquor is a bright golden-amber color, clear and lively in the cup. The taste is smooth, mellow, and grounding, offering notes of light wood, grain, gentle herbal depth, and a soft sweetness that carries through the finish. The pinewood roasting contributes warmth and structure without overpowering the leaf material, resulting in a tea that feels traditional, satisfying, and very easy to drink. It reminds us of a sweeter lapsang souchong but with more body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2228\" data-start=\"1739\"\u003eWhat makes this tea particularly enjoyable is its balance. It has enough body and character to satisfy experienced drinkers of Hunan dark tea, but it is also clean and accessible enough for everyday drinking. The mouthfeel is soft and lightly lubricating, with a calm, settled body feel rather than an aggressive or forceful energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2634\" data-start=\"2230\"\u003eThe infused leaves open into an attractive mix of stems and leaves typical of traditional Anhua hei cha. In the cup, the tea remains stable across multiple infusions, showing a pleasing consistency and a relaxed, warming nature. If you enjoy Hunan dark tea and want something rooted in Anhua tradition, with the added charm of Jiu Long Chi mountain-area origin, this is an excellent brick to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2851\" data-start=\"2834\" data-section-id=\"14nhxxa\"\u003eBrewing Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3039\" data-start=\"2853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2877\" data-start=\"2853\"\u003eGongfu (recommended)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2880\" data-start=\"2877\"\u003e6–7 grams per 100 ml\u003cbr data-end=\"2903\" data-start=\"2900\"\u003e100 °C\u003cbr data-end=\"2912\" data-start=\"2909\"\u003eGive it a quick rinse, then steep 10–15 seconds to start, then increase gradually from there.\u003cbr data-end=\"3003\" data-start=\"3000\"\u003eExpect many smooth, steady infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3121\" data-start=\"3041\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3052\" data-start=\"3041\"\u003eWestern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3055\" data-start=\"3052\"\u003e4–5 grams per 350 ml\u003cbr data-end=\"3078\" data-start=\"3075\"\u003e100 °C for 3–4 minutes\u003cbr data-end=\"3103\" data-start=\"3100\"\u003eRe-steep 2–3 times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3264\" data-start=\"3123\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3140\" data-start=\"3123\"\u003eThermos style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3143\" data-start=\"3140\"\u003e1–1.5 grams per 100 ml\u003cbr data-end=\"3168\" data-start=\"3165\"\u003eUse boiling water and steep 30–60 minutes\u003cbr data-end=\"3212\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003eProduces a mellow, warming tea with satisfying depth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"3280\" data-start=\"3266\" data-section-id=\"1kyd5f1\"\u003eIn Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3291\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025 Jiu Long Chi Tian Fu Brick Tea\u003cbr data-end=\"3330\" data-start=\"3327\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3339\" data-start=\"3330\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3339\" data-start=\"3330\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hunan Hei Cha\u003cbr data-end=\"3356\" data-start=\"3353\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3367\" data-start=\"3356\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3367\" data-start=\"3356\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jiu Long Chi area, Anhua County, Hunan\u003cbr data-end=\"3409\" data-start=\"3406\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3427\" data-start=\"3409\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3427\" data-start=\"3409\"\u003eMaterial Harvest Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr data-end=\"3435\" data-start=\"3432\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3455\" data-start=\"3435\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3455\" data-start=\"3435\"\u003eProduction Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e  May 3rd 2025\u003cbr data-end=\"3469\" data-start=\"3466\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3484\" data-start=\"3469\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3484\" data-start=\"3469\"\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 grams per brick\u003cbr data-end=\"3507\" data-start=\"3504\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3528\" data-start=\"3507\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3528\" data-start=\"3507\"\u003eProcessing Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional craft, pinewood open-fire roasting (Seven Star Kiln)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3282\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"3528\" data-start=\"3507\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anhua County Sidao Tea Industry Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWant to learn more about Tian Jian tea?  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/pages\/understanding-anhua-tian-jian-dark-tea\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sidao Tea Industry","offers":[{"title":"1 Brick (500 Grams)","offer_id":46591301845191,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams","offer_id":46591301910727,"sku":null,"price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Grams","offer_id":46591301943495,"sku":null,"price":7.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/files\/IMG_0717.jpg?v=1779590710","url":"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/en-je\/products\/2025-jiu-long-chi-tian-fu-brick-tea","provider":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
