Lu'An heicha, also known as dark tea, a post fermented tea from Anhui province in China. Gongjian Lu'an is a slightly more coarse material than it's Tegong counterpart, spicy with a bite and lingering returning sweetness. Made to age, but those enjoy an intense cup will enjoy it straight away. Baskets contain ~250g of loosely pressed tea, though it varies a bit from basket to basket.
