Every step is done by hand, without artificial accelerants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Raw Material Selection \u0026amp; Blending\u003cbr\u003eHigh‑quality dark tea leaves from Anhua, Hunan, are manually sorted, chopped, and sifted. Different grades are blended according to a secret family recipe to ensure a consistent, balanced flavour base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. The Core Secret – “Brewing the Tea Glaze” (Ao You)\u003cbr\u003eA special aged tea, tea fruits, and well water are simmered for up to 12 hours until a thick concentrate is extracted. This is mixed with a portion of “old glaze” (acting as a natural starter) – a unique Jingyang technique that creates the tea’s signature mellow taste and distinctive fungal aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Hand‑Pressing \u0026amp; Molding\u003cbr\u003eEach brick is precisely weighed, then stir‑fried with the glaze in a hot iron wok. The softened tea is poured into paper molds and pounded firmly with a wooden hammer – 100–120 heavy strokes and 50–80 light strokes. The brick is then tied, vented with small air channels, and undergoes the “Three Turns \u0026amp; Three Pours” rule: frequent turning over the first three years to promote even fermentation and oxygenation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. “Golden Flora” Development (Fa Hua)\u003cbr\u003eThe pressed bricks are placed in a climate‑controlled room for 10–20 days, where beneficial golden‑coloured fungi (Eurotium cristatum) naturally grow inside the brick. This “Golden Flora” is unique to Fu  Tea and contributes to its smooth, earthy taste and health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. Long‑Term Aging\u003cbr\u003eAfter flowering, the bricks are air‑dried for at least 3 years, then transferred to wooden warehouses for another 2 years of slow oxidation, experiencing all four seasons. Only after this 4‑ to 5‑year cycle is the tea ready – and our product has been further aged for approximately 15 years, resulting in an exceptionally deep and complex character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e· Personally handcrafted by Jia Genshe, National Representative Inheritor of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage\u003cbr\u003e· One of the teas selected for official hospitality and distinguished guest receptions in China\u003cbr\u003e· Approximately 15 years of natural aging for exceptional depth and complexity\u003cbr\u003e· 1000g net weight – two individual 500g bricks, elegantly housed in a premium wooden gift box\u003cbr\u003e· Authentic Jingyang Fu Tea made using traditional natural fermentation and the unique “glaze” method\u003cbr\u003e· Origin: Jingyang, Shaanxi, China\u003cbr\u003e· Rich, smooth, layered flavour – perfect for collectors, gifting, and tea connoisseurs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:20 tea\/water, boil 2 min, steep 3–5 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteep (gaiwan\/pot):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:25–30, rinse first, steep 1–2 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermos:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:20, fill with boiling water, wait 8–10 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add milk or honey, or serve iced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Rules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways use boiling water (100°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse the leaves briefly before brewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid if pregnant, have insomnia, or kidney issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrink after meals, not on an empty stomach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Many Times?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteep:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–15+ rounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–3 more pots (extend time each boil).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermos:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2nd steep only (3rd is weak).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Stop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep going while the tea is orange-red, clear, and rich.
