Handcrafted by Jia Genshe, 12th-generation inheritor of Jingyang Fu Tea craftsmanship and a nationally recognized representative of China's intangible cultural heritage. Each brick embodies a living tradition passed down through generations in Jingyang, Shaanxi Province.
Heritage
Jingyang Fu Brick Tea has been produced in Jingyang, Shaanxi Province for over 600 years. Recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. Jia Genshe, the 12th-generation master, has dedicated his life to preserving and advancing this ancient craft.
Craftsmanship
Hand-pressed and naturally fermented using traditional methods refined over 600 years. Meticulous control of moisture, temperature, and airflow to encourage golden flower growth. No artificial additives or accelerants.
The Art of Aging
Naturally aged 15 years in Jingyang, Shaanxi — the birthplace of Fu Brick Tea. Extended aging deepens flavor, smooths texture, and enriches aroma, producing exceptional complexity and collectible value.
Golden Flowers
Golden flowers (Eurotium cristatum) are the defining characteristic of authentic Fu Brick Tea — beneficial microorganisms responsible for its mellow flavor, digestive benefits, and long-term aging potential.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber liquor. Warm, earthy aroma with dried fruit and aged wood notes. Smooth, full-bodied palate with a naturally sweet finish and no astringency. Long-lasting, clean aftertaste.
