2015 Jingwei Fu "1368 Classic" Fu Brick Tea

Not the greatest tea, but great value at thus price. Tasting notes: flowery aged shou with a leather aftertaste

A very unusual tea

This tea is different from any other tea I've had before. It's not the best, but the unique taste makes it worth giving a try. First off, you should let this tea air out a bit. I brewed some right of the bag when it arrived (who can wait!), and it tasted mostly like paraffin wax. I made it again two weeks later, and it was actually quite nice. It had a lot more character, and tasted of smoke, ham, and paraffin.

Very strong and earthy taste. One of my favourite ones!
