Eight Rivers Flowing Through Ancient Chang'an — A Poetic Tribute in Every Cup

  • Mellow, Sweet, and Exceptionally Smooth
  1. Award-Winning Pedigree: Golden Flower Fuzhuan from On Taoism Tea Factory was recognized as a Joint Winner in the Pu-erh Tea category at the 2025 World Tea Championship, awarded for both Best Leaf Profile and Best Cup Character. Also honored with the 2015 Milan World Expo Gold Award.
  2. Superior Yunnan Origin: First-grade spring tea from Lincang, Yunnan—a revolutionary departure from traditional Shaanxi-sourced Fu Brick, delivering unmatched depth and complexity.
  3. Hand-Breakable Convenience: Ultra-thin mini cake design—no tools required. Break, brew, and enjoy premium dark tea anywhere, anytime.
  4. Dense Golden Flower Bloom (Fa Hua / 发花): Abundant Eurotium cristatum colonies cultivated through precision-controlled fermentation, transforming the tea into a mellow, sweet elixir.
  5. Poetic Cultural Heritage: Named after the legendary "Eight Rivers of Chang'an," each cake carries the literary spirit of ancient Xi'an and the Silk Road's glorious tea legacy.

In the heart of Shaanxi Province, where the ancient Silk Road once began its westward journey, a new chapter in Fu Brick Tea is being written. On Taoism Tea Factory (Ji Yu Dao / 几于道) draws its name from the Dao De Jing: "The highest good is like water—it benefits all things without contending." This philosophy shapes every brick they craft: pure, honest, and life-nourishing.

What makes this tea extraordinary begins with its origin. While traditional Fu Brick relies on local Qinling Mountain leaves, On Taoism pioneered a bold innovation—sourcing first-grade spring tea from Yunnan's renowned Lincang region, then bringing it to Shaanxi for the sacred Fa Hua (发花) fermentation process. The tea leaves come from grade one dark tea from Lincang, Yunnan, and the tea aroma is more intense. The result is visible in every broken piece: abundant silvery tips, tender leaves, and an aroma that announces exceptional quality before the first steep.

The name "Chang'an" (长安) honors Xi'an's glorious past as the Tang Dynasty capital, where eight rivers once converged to nourish a civilization. The packaging quotes the Western Han poet Sima Xiangru's Shanglin Fu (司马相如 《上林赋》, 荡荡乎八川分流, 相背而异态): "Vast and mighty, the eight rivers diverge, each flowing its own course." This mini cake is not merely tea—it is poetry compressed into form, history fermented into flavor, and the Silk Road's spirit distilled into a single, hand-breakable cake designed for the modern tea lover's journey.

  • The 2025 Global Tea Championship winners were officially announced at the World Tea Expo Awards Ceremony on March 25 in Las Vegas. This prestigious competition recognizes the highest quality teas from around the globe.
  • Produced under hygienic, controlled factory conditions—On Taoism pioneered clean-room fermentation standards in the Fu Brick industry.
  • Direct partnership with the award-winning tea maker ensures authenticity and peak freshness.

A naturally golden-flowered Fu Brick Tea that delivers mellow, rich flavor in every cup—experience the award-winning difference and add it to your collection today.

The unique production method involves first fermenting the tea in traditional thick-brick form for optimal Golden Flower development, then gently vibrating the brick apart (rather than cutting, which would damage the leaves) and re-pressing into this convenient thin format.

Tasting notes

Dry Leaf Appearance and Aroma:

Tightly compressed thin disc with visible silvery tips scattered across the dark brown surface. The dry aroma presents roasted wood, aged oak, and a whisper of honey-date sweetness.

Wet Leaf Appearance and Aroma:

After steeping, leaves unfurl to reveal remarkably intact, tender leaves—evidence of the vibration-separation technique rather than cutting. The wet leaf releases waves of toasted grain, dried longan, and a subtle fungal earthiness characteristic of quality Golden Flower fermentation.

Liquor Color:

Deep amber to burnished copper, clear and luminous with excellent transparency—no cloudiness or sediment.

Taste and Mouthfeel:

The first sip delivers a velvety, coating texture that glides across the palate. Malty sweetness emerges in layers, reminiscent of barley sugar and caramelized toffee. Mid-palate reveals subtle roasted walnut and a gentle, warming earthiness. Absolutely clean—no bitterness, no astringency, no off-flavors whatsoever.

Empty Cup Aroma (Gua Bei Xiang / 挂杯香):

Lingering notes of sweet rice candy, dried apricot, and a faint honeyed warmth that persists long after the cup is emptied.

Aftertaste (Hui Gan / 回甘):

Clean, refreshing finish with a pleasant glutinous rice sweetness that unfolds slowly. A gentle, soothing warmth radiates from the chest and continues for several minutes.

Body Sensation (Cha Qi / 茶气):

Calming and centering.

Flavor Character from Origin: Yunnan Lincang leaves contribute pronounced sweetness, fuller body, and aromatic complexity—significantly elevated compared to traditional Qinling-sourced Fu Brick

Brewing guide

Brewing Longevity:

Highly durable—easily yields 8–12 quality infusions with gongfu method; excellent for all-day simmering.

Gongfu Style (Recommended for Full Experience)

  • Teaware: Gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot, 100–150ml capacity
  • Tea Amount: 5–7g (approximately 1/10 of the mini cake)
  • Water Temperature: 95–100°C (203–212°F), fully boiling
  • Rinse: Perform one quick rinse (3–5 seconds), then discard. This awakens the leaves and removes any surface dust.
  • First Infusion: 10–15 seconds
  • Subsequent Infusions: Add 5–10 seconds per round; this tea can yield 8–12 quality steeps
  • Tips: Do not over-steep early rounds. Allow the tea to open gradually for the best expression of its layered sweetness.

Simmering / Boiling Method (Traditional Central Asian Style)

  • Teaware: Heat-resistant glass pot, ceramic pot, or stovetop kettle
  • Tea Amount: 5–8g per 500ml water
  • Procedure: Bring water to a boil, add tea, reduce to low simmer for 3–5 minutes. For stronger flavor, simmer up to 10 minutes.
  • Serving: Pour through strainer.
  • Tips: This method extracts maximum depth from the Golden Flowers and creates a rich, warming brew perfect for cold weather.

Grandpa Style / Mug Steeping (Convenient Daily Method)

  • Teaware: Large mug or thermos, 300–500ml
  • Tea Amount: 3–5g
  • Water Temperature: 95–100°C (203–212°F)
  • Steeping Time: 3–5 minutes for first steep; leave leaves in mug and add hot water as you drink
  • Tips: This forgiving tea will not turn bitter even with extended steeping, making it ideal for office or travel.

Western Style (Teapot or French Press)

  • Teaware: Standard teapot or French press, 400–500ml
  • Tea Amount: 4–6g
  • Steeping Time: 3–4 minutes for first infusion; 4–5 minutes for subsequent infusions
  • Tips: Can be re-steeped 3–4 times. French press works excellently for extracting the full-bodied character of this tea.

Note: Cold brewing is not recommended for Fu Brick Tea, as the beneficial Golden Flower compounds and full flavor profile require hot water extraction.
