This is an early Gao Jia Shan production consisting of wild tea grown in the Yun Tai mountain area of An Hua county in Hunan at an altitude of 1000 meters. Although this is labelled a “Fu Zhuan” it’s devoid of golden flowers and acts a bit more like a “Hei Cha Zhuan”.
Stored in An Hua, Hunan since it’s production in 2009 this has aged into a thoroughly enjoyable and complex tea. The brewed tea has a molasses and tobacco aroma with a hint of smoke and the taste is sweet, fruity and creamy. It also has something akin to an aged dry Guangdong stored raw pu-erh tea. Cha Qi is strong!
Part of the Gao Jia Shan “Wild Tea” series ( in addition to this one 2012 Gao Jia Shan “Wild Tian Jian” in a Bamboo Basket).
