Dark Tea Brick Fuzhuan with Golden Flowers 320g
Fuzhuan Dark Tea Brick with Golden Flowers – 320g
Fuzhuan tea is a celebrated Chinese dark tea (hei cha) originating from Hunan Province, crafted since around 1860 AD. Pressed into a firm brick and fermented during the summer months, it develops a unique colony of beneficial microorganisms known as "Golden Flowers" (Eurotium cristatum) — the hallmark of authentic Fuzhuan tea and a key contributor to its smooth, mellow character.
