Spring harvest from Lincang , then processed and stored in Shanxi province. Classical mixed tea material of young and old arbor trees of Mengku . The beautiful scent of wood ,caramel and nuts comes out from teapot after first infusion, but don't expect the same sensation in your cup. Although its a hei cha , the taste reminds more like some old sheng puer...
The tea has unique scent of fresh nuts and old wood, very pleasant and full in mouth, sweet and mellow with touch of wild honey and almonds. Jin Hua - golden flower, which is fungus purposely grown by special way of fermentation and it gives the tea unique sweet & sour taste. There are many articles about positive effects to human body of this fungus,...
The aroma of brewed hot leaves have light touch or roasted nuts but those are not much reflected in taste it self as it's mostly covered by traditional wet basement layer during the entire session. Slight bitterness might appear at the beginning ( especially in strong infusions ) but leaving a sweet impression in mouth right after few cups. Decent daily...
An unique post processing of An Hua hei cha. Tea leafs roasted on the wood have an intensive deep scent of nuts and dark chocolate with smokey background with hint of walnut shell.Despite of it's young age , the tea is very nice to drink now and has a bit old hei cha characteristics. Because to this type of processing we believe the tea won't change much...
Liu An Cha from Anhui province. Approximately 400g ( netto ) of tea pressed into the small bamboo basket. Tea is also wrapped in bamboo leaf. Nice charcoal, nutty bitter&sweet tea holds it's taste for solid 6+ infusions. Notes of the bamboo can be also experienced during the steeping.
Liubao tea from famous tea company Three Cranes. Typical scent of old wet basement where the tea was stored for all those years, coming out of your teapot or gaiwan right after the first infusion. After few steeping the wet / dirt taste will diminish at the background. We have found the tea liquor rather bitter than sweet , but do not hesitate ask for...
Small 50g pressed Shan Xi hei cha tea cake and packed into this gift box. Typical dark tea with "ju hua" , golden flowers , which is fungus purposely grown by special way of fermentation and it gives the tea unique sweet & sour taste. Nice present for the friend who likes hei cha.2015

Produced and stored in Lhasa ( Tibet ) iron hard pressed tea brick in chocolate pattern. You will need to have a good puer pick and be very careful to not harm yourself when chipping off this 248g Hei Cha brick.

Similar to 2013 .Drying Chinese cabbage on wooden bench in small minority village with wild honey notes would be a sort of description of the scent coming out from your pot with first infusion. Although doesn't sound attractive but must say overall fragrance has a sweet base and so it is the taste.The most important part is the Lotus leafs which are...
The wet notes of old grannie's basement are there but not as aggressive as in other Liubao teas can be. The loose tea leaf processed by semi-big tea company is showing the sweetness after 2nd cup. The sugar feeling lingering at the back of the tongue which spread in full mouth later. After 6th infusion , the wood notes will emerge while you exhale through...
