Silver Award Anhua Fuzhuan Dark Tea with Glutinous Aroma
 
Indulge in the exceptional taste of Silver Award Anhua Fuzhuan Dark Tea with Glutinous Aroma, a premium tea treasure hailing from Anhua County, the renowned "Hometown of Dark Tea in China". This tea has not only won the prestigious Silver Award in professional tea evaluations but also stands out for its unique glutinous fragrance and authentic Fuzhuan craftsmanship, making it a perfect choice for tea lovers and collectors worldwide.
 
Crafted with strict adherence to traditional techniques passed down for centuries, each brick of this tea is made from high-quality tender tea leaves sourced from the mist-shrouded mountains of Anhua. The key highlight of Fuzhuan Dark Tea lies in the "Golden Flowers" (Eurotium cristatum), a rare beneficial fungus that grows naturally during the fermentation process. These golden-hued spores are not only visually striking but also contribute to the tea's mellow flavor and numerous health benefits.
 
When brewed, the tea liquor presents a rich amber color, clear and bright. With the first sip, you'll be greeted by a distinctive glutinous sweetness, reminiscent of cooked glutinous rice, which blends harmoniously with the deep, earthy notes of dark tea. The taste is smooth and lingering, with no astringency, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that stays on the palate.
 
Beyond its delightful flavor, this tea is also a great companion for a healthy lifestyle. It aids in digestion, helps to regulate metabolism, and is ideal for drinking after meals or during leisure time. Each brick is carefully packaged to preserve its freshness and aroma, ensuring that you can enjoy the authentic taste of Anhua Fuzhuan Dark Tea wherever you are.
 
Whether you're a seasoned tea connoisseur looking to expand your collection or a novice eager to explore the world of Chinese dark tea, Silver Award Anhua Fuzhuan Dark Tea with Glutinous Aroma is sure to impress. Experience the charm of Chinese tea culture in every cup!
 
How to Brew & Make Milk Tea
 
1. Traditional Brewing Method (Pure Tea)
 
- Tea Quantity: Take 5-8g of tea (about 2-3 small pieces broken from the tea brick).
- Water Temperature: Use boiling water (100°C/212°F) to fully stimulate the tea's aroma and flavor.
- Brewing Steps:
1. Rinse the tea with boiling water first (3-5 seconds) to wake up the tea leaves, then pour out the water.
2. Add boiling water again, cover the teapot, and steep for 1-2 minutes for the first brew.
3. For subsequent brews, extend the steeping time by 30 seconds each time (it can be brewed 5-8 times).
 
2. Creamy Milk Tea Recipe
 
- Ingredients: 6g Anhua Fuzhuan Dark Tea, 200ml milk (dairy or plant-based like oat milk), 5-10g sugar (adjustable), 150ml water.
- Making Steps:
1. Boil 150ml water, add the tea, and simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes (do not boil vigorously to avoid bitter taste).
2. Add milk and sugar, stir well, and continue to heat on low heat until small bubbles appear around the pot (do not boil to prevent milk from curdling).
3. Turn off the heat, let it stand for 1 minute, then filter out the tea leaves. Pour into a cup and enjoy the creamy milk tea with glutinous aroma.
- Pro Tip: For a richer texture, you can add a small amount of cooked glutinous rice balls or taro balls to the milk tea.
