Anhua Hei Cha

This aged Fu Brick tea presents a deep, earthy character, reminiscent of aged wood and damp forest floor. It offers a smooth, comforting liquor with a subtle mineral sweetness and a full, grounding bo. It leans earthy, mellow and mineral.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Hunan, China. This batch is from the 2010 harvest.

Starts at $1.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.09/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.54 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
