Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Anhua heicha fu zhuan, or fu brick, is a post fermented tea from Hunan province in China that contains "golden flowers" [eurotium cristatum]. After we fell in love with our 2018 sun fu, we commissioned a 2021 production from the very same producer. A wonderful, well rounded fu brick. Thick and rich with plenty of feeling, but without being too overwhelming for the daily cup. Sweet and aromatic daily fu that can be aged further or drank right away. Each brick is ~1000g of pressed tea. Disclaimer: We've heard that people suffering from gluten allergies may be sensitive to Fu zhuan / eurotium cristatum. Best to avoid this tea if you are sensitive or have Celiac disease
