The density / amount of the golden flowers is not as big as in the Hei Cha ( we also offer ) , but the grade and quality of the tea leaf it self is higher. That's why we don't offer less than 50g per order , because in smaller amount is even smaller chance to get any jin hua.
Please note that review from 12/03/2022 refers to the 2020 batch of 1kg brick we offered before. This, 2018 batch comes in 500g bricks and it is from the same producer made same technique and has very similar taste spectrum with the mentioned 1kg brick.
Sweet, clean, fu-like shu
This "puerh", if it is allowed to be called it ;), is very sweet in taste and aroma. From the golden flowers but the shu itself is sweet too. Very easy drinking. No foul odors or taste.
It is also just a very interesting tea. I have only seen jinhua infused shu puerh a small handful of times in the western-tea-sphere. If you like anhua hei cha, or fu cha, and you like shu puerh, then this is quite a steal because it satisfies these niches in one cup. My only wish is that there were more golden flowers. I only received a 50g sample, so there are probably more in the center of the brick :)
