white2tea 2021 ‘Sun Fu’ Heicha

A 1 kilogram tome from on high! Anhua heicha in the fuzhuan style, a post-fermented "brick tea" inoculated with very special, borderline magical little mushrooms.... fungi whomst digest this small batch, bud-heavier than usual material into something wonderful. Still lots of stems don't worry, it's a sumptuous, easy-brewing treat for all hours of the day..... and night??? Brew it heavy and the brown sugar molasses really hits the gas. This tea always leaves an unusually broad smile on my face, and maybe a little droop on the old eyelid too. Thick in body, thick in spirit.

1KG brick but we only have one, so 50g chunks is what's on the table. Have as many as you want, it's just getting going.

white2tea tells us: 

"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."

"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."
