8-Year Noble Reserve

An elegant expression of traditionally crafted Jingyang Fu Tea, naturally aged for approximately eight years. Created for tea connoisseurs who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, natural aging, and the quiet refinement that comes with time.

Produced in Jingyang, Shaanxi, China. Jingyang Fu Tea has a distinctive identity within Chinese dark tea, with a craft refined over centuries through careful preparation, steaming, compression, and traditional fermentation.
