Genshe Fu Tea stands as the quintessential brand of traditional, naturally fermented Fuzhuan tea in Jingyang.

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSVGCMgN9/Genshe Fuzhuan Tea is a representative brand of traditionally naturally fermented Jingyang Fuzhuan tea. Its core lies in the ancient craft and natural fermentation process founded by Jia Genshe, a National Intangible Cultural Heritage inheritor.

The brand has a deep heritage, a true “family legacy”:

· A Tea-Making Dynasty: The founder, Jia Genshe, is the 12th-generation descendant of the Jia family tea-makers. His family’s business, “Maosheng Store,” has been active in the Northwest China tea market since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
· Crafted by a Heritage Master: Jia Genshe is a representative inheritor of the “Xianyang Fuzhuan Tea Making Technique,” a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
· Officially Recognized: The products have received prestigious certifications including “National Geographical Indication Protected Product” and “Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Agricultural Geographical Indication”.

Its fame stems from a commitment to “slow and meticulous work”:

· Ancient Techniques: Adhering to ancestral recipes, the tea is crafted through over 20 manual procedures. Key steps include hand-stir-frying the tea, pounding it about 300 times with a wooden mallet to shape it, and placing new tea with aged tea (as a starter) to guide natural fermentation.
· Time-Intensive: After the flowering stage, the tea undergoes at least a full year of “four-season air-drying” aging in the specific environment of the Heritage Museum. The complete process can take up to four years.
· Unique Flavor: The brewed tea is bright red, mellow, and thick, with natural fungal and jujube aromas, and a smooth, sweet aftertaste. Due to natural fermentation, the golden flowers are typically distributed in a scattered pattern, unlike the uniform distribution seen in inoculated fermentation.

Overall, Genshe Fuzhuan Tea is an excellent choice for experiencing the authentic charm of traditional Fuzhuan tea. Its products won a Gold Award in the Dark Tea category at the 15th International Tea Competition. However, this traditional craft also means quality is more dependent on the tea master's experience and the climate conditions of that year, with relatively limited production and higher prices. If you seek the most authentic traditional flavor and collectible value, it is well worth considering.
