About golden flowers
The golden flecks visible in Fu brick tea are part of the traditional Fu tea style. They are valued for the way they contribute to the tea’s mellow, rounded character. As with any aged tea, the brick should be stored cleanly and checked for a clean aroma before brewing.
Tasting notes
Expected profile: smooth and mellow dark tea body, gentle aged wood, light earthy sweetness, subtle dried-fruit depth, and a clean finish. The cup should feel rounded rather than sharp.
Brewing
Use the suggestions below as starting points and adjust to taste.
- Gongfu brewing: Use 5-7g tea for a 100-120ml gaiwan or small teapot. Use boiling water, rinse briefly, then start with 15-25 second infusions and gradually lengthen.
- Western brewing: Use 3-4g tea for about 300ml water. Brew with near-boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Re-steep 2-3 times, adding time each round.
- Boiling / simmering: For a stronger, warmer cup, simmer 4-6g tea in 500-700ml water for 8-15 minutes, then adjust strength to taste.
