Lu'An heicha, also known as dark tea, a post fermented tea from Anhui province in China. Tegong Lu'an, which is made from what is lauded as "wild" material, is a brothy and intense tea with heavy hitting power underneath a smooth and thick body. Powerful aromas of spice and layered sweet flavors throughout. Made to age, but enjoyable straight away. Baskets contain ~250g of loosely pressed tea though it varies a bit from basket to basket.
