16 years of patient Xi'an dry-storage have transformed this heritage-crafted Fu brick into liquid silk—where ancient tea-oil techniques meet abundant Golden Flowers to deliver a depth and smoothness that only true vintage can achieve.
What Makes It Unique
- 16+ Year Xi'an Dry-Aged Vintage (since 2010): Time-perfected complexity no young Fu tea can replicate—ready to drink at peak maturity.
- National Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship: Handmade by Master Jia Genshe 贾根社, preserving Jingyang brick tea tradition.
- Exclusive Tea-Oil Infusion Process (Ao Cha You 熬茶油): Concentrated tea liquor re-applied during fermentation—a rare technique yielding exceptional depth and body.
- Abundant Golden Flowers (Jin Hua): Dense, evenly-distributed Eurotium cristatum colonies transform rough maocha into silky, sweet, probiotic-rich tea.
- Clean Xi'an Dry Storage Provenance: No mustiness, no off-flavors—pure, authentic aged character verified from source.
In 2010, in the ancient tea-trading hub of Jingyang, Shaanxi Province, master craftsman Jia Genshe 贾根社 pressed this brick using techniques his family has guarded for generations. The "Jingyang Fu Brick Tea making technique" was officially recognized and listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. This designation reflects the extraordinary skill required to cultivate the Golden Flowers that define authentic Fu tea—a process that historically could only succeed under Jingyang's unique climate and water conditions.
What sets this brick apart is the preservation of an increasingly rare production step: the tea-oil infusion process (熬茶油, Áo Chá Yóu). After the Hunan Anhua black maocha (黑毛茶, Hēi Máo Chá) undergoes initial fermentation (渥堆, Wò Duī) and cutting, it is simmered to extract a thick, concentrated tea liquor. This potent essence is then poured back over the leaves before the flowering stage (发花, Fā Huā) begins. The result is a Fu brick with noticeably richer body and more complex flavor than standard production methods can achieve.
Hand compressed Fuzhuan is easier for the Golden Flower to grow than machine compressed. Since the hand-compressed tea is not as tight as the machine, there will be more space and moisture for the fungus to grow and propagate. Master Jia's entirely handmade approach—from pressing to flowering—ensures optimal conditions for the beneficial Eurotium cristatum to flourish throughout the brick.
After pressing, this tea spent sixteen years in Xi'an's ideal dry-storage environment. The result is a vintage Fu brick that has shed the grassy, tobacco-like notes of youth and blossomed into something far more refined: a liquor glowing red-amber, thick with aged sweetness, carrying whispers of Chinese dates, ginseng, and sandalwood. This is not a tea for the impatient—it is the reward for those who understand that the finest things require time.
Why Choose Us:
- Direct Heritage Source: Acquired from Master Jia Genshe's own stock, with full storage provenance from 2010 to present
- Verified Clean Dry Storage: Xi'an warehouse-aged under controlled conditions—no humidity damage, no off-flavors
- Authentic Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft: Employing traditional tea-making techniques dating back to 1368, acknowledged as an intangible cultural heritage
This 2010 vintage represents a vanishing piece of Fu tea history. With each passing year, properly stored vintage bricks become rarer. Once this allocation is gone, finding another authenticated 15-year Genshe brick with this unique tea-oil process will be nearly impossible. Secure your brick today and experience what centuries of tradition taste like.
