2016 Cha Yu Lin "Monkey Jian" Tian Jian Hei Cha Brick Tea
This is a 2016 spring wild harvested Tian Jian tea from Bei Wan 北湾 area in Anhua county. Wild grown tea (荒山茶) was picked and processed carefully using kill-green (frying), rolling, fermenting, drying, and then pressed into these little 200 gram bricks.
This tea has been aged since 2016 in Hunan, and has a nice aged taste and feel to it. The aging has transformed the subtle smokiness into velvety rich spices with a honey and fruit fullness and depth in the mouth. It steeps many times and each infusion has its own charm and unique character.
A great opportunity to taste or age Tian Jian in a brick form.
Cha Yu Lin is a small An Hua producer that works with tea growers and small village cooperatives to produce unique small batch Hei Cha. They've been producing An Hua teas since 2004!
