Anhua heicha fu zhuan, or fu brick, is a post fermented tea from Hunan province in China that contains “golden flowers” (eurotium cristatum).
A white2tea experiment a couple of years in the making, our Shufu Shufu blend contains our small batch shou Puer from Yunnan joined together with Anhua heicha last spring in Hunan. Two provinces and styles of tea melded together to age in a giant brick with golden flowers.
The shou Puer smooths the edges of a young and aggressive heicha. Aromas and flavors that drift between intense tobacco and buttery sweetness. A unique experience and a tea that will really shine as it ages.
Each brick is ~1000g of pressed tea.
