Forest Mist – 2022 Anhua Fu Brick Dark Tea Heicha

Sourced from the “Royal Creek” Wild Mountain Tea Series, this premium Fu Brick Tea comes from a historic imperial tribute tea garden nestled deep within misty high-altitude forests. Crafted by Baishaxi, the tea trees grow naturally alongside native woodland vegetation, creating a distinctive flavor profile shaped by the untouched mountain ecosystem. Only one spring harvest is picked each year during the Grain Rain season, using carefully selected tender buds and young leaves from wild mountain tea gardens.

The tea leaves undergo multiple rounds of sorting and stem removal before being traditionally hand-pressed into bricks. The finished tea brick is beautifully textured with a balanced firmness and smooth edges. The dry leaves are dark and glossy, with fine tight strands and a subtle smoky date aroma. Inside the brick, visible golden spores known as “Golden Flowers” (Eurotium cristatum) naturally develop during fermentation — a prized hallmark of high-quality Fu Brick Tea.

Once brewed, the tea produces a rich amber-orange liquor with a smooth, thick mouthfeel. Notes of floral “golden flower” aroma and fruity sweetness blend beautifully with a deep wild mountain character. Traditionally enjoyed for aiding digestion and balancing rich foods, Fu Brick Tea is especially appreciated after heavy meals and for daily wellness tea sessions.
