このお茶に隠された物語
フーブリックティーは600年以上前に陝西省涇陽で生まれ、その象徴的な「ゴールデンフラワー」は発酵中に自然に形成されます。この記念版は、フーブリックティー誕生から650年を記念するものであり、ユーロチウムクリスタツムという有益なプロバイオティック菌を育てる技術を完成させた何世代にもわたる茶師たちへの敬意を表しています。
「道教」(幾于道, Jǐ Yú Dào)という名前は、老子の『道德経』から取られています。「最も高い善は水のようである。それはすべてのものを養いながら競わない」。この哲学は生産のあらゆる側面を導いています。伝統的なフーブリックティーは陝西や湖南の粗い葉に依存していますが、「道教」は雲南の有名な鳳慶や臨滄茶地域からの特別等級の春芽を選んで新しい地平を開きました。新しい茶師たちは今では雲南の高山の葉を使用し、斬新な風味を作り出しています。その結果として、暗茶にはめったに見られない明るさ、甘さ、繊細な新鮮さを持つ劇的に向上した一杯が実現しました。
各レンガは熟練した監督のもとで古来よりの発花(発花)技術によって処理され、均一で密集した輝く金色の花を確保します。発花が完了すると、工場で慎重に塊に分割され、保護紙に包まれて美しいスズ容器に入れられ、すぐに楽しむことができます。このエディションは古代の技術と現代の利便性の両方を称え、6世紀にわたる茶の知恵を直接あなたのカップへと届けます。

-
Dry Leaf Appearance and Aroma
The pre-broken chunks display a rich, dark brown color interspersed with brilliant golden-yellow specks—the celebrated Golden Flowers (金花). The dry aroma presents an inviting bouquet of dried apricot, roasted barley, and a distinctive sweet fungal fragrance reminiscent of dried mushrooms and honey.
Wet Leaf Appearance and Aroma
Upon rinsing, the leaves unfurl to reveal tender, intact buds with a glossy sheen. The wet aroma intensifies with notes of toasted grain, stone fruit, and a clean, earthy sweetness. No musty or off-putting odors—only pure, refined fragrance.
Liquor Color
The brew yields a luminous amber-orange liquor with exceptional clarity and brightness—a hallmark of high-grade raw materials and clean production. The color deepens to a rich copper with extended steeping.
Taste Profile
The first sip reveals immediate sweetness, like caramelized brown sugar and ripe stone fruit. Mid-palate delivers layers of toasted walnut, roasted barley, and subtle dried fig. The probiotic Golden Flowers change the tea's taste—reducing bitterness while creating a mellow, sweet, and smooth flavor profile. The texture is remarkably silky and viscous, coating the palate without any astringency or harsh edges. Absolutely clean, with zero off-flavors or mustiness.
Empty Cup Aroma
The emptied vessel retains a lasting fragrance of honey, warm grain, and subtle floral notes—evidence of the tea's exceptional quality and complete fermentation.
Aftertaste (Huigan)
A pronounced returning sweetness (回甘, huí gān) emerges within seconds, lingering on the tongue and throat. Notes of caramel and dried longan persist for several minutes, inviting the next infusion.
Body Sensation
This tea produces a gentle warming sensation that spreads from the chest to the limbs. Many drinkers report a calming, grounding effect—ideal for post-meal relaxation. Traditionally enjoyed for its digestive benefits, Fu Brick Tea is now also valued for the probiotics found in its Golden Flowers. The tea is exceptionally durable, offering 10-15 quality infusions with consistent flavor development.
-
Q: What flavor profile can I expect from this tea?
A: This premium Fu Brick Tea offers a remarkably refined and approachable flavor profile that differs significantly from standard dark teas. Expect immediate notes of caramelized brown sugar, ripe apricot, and toasted barley on the first sip. The mid-palate reveals deeper layers of roasted walnut and dried fig, while the finish delivers a clean, honey-like sweetness that lingers pleasantly. The Golden Flowers change the tea's flavor to be sweet and smooth. Unlike earthier dark teas, this special-grade edition emphasizes brightness and delicacy—think butterscotch and stone fruit rather than compost or wet earth. The texture is silky and full-bodied without any bitterness or astringency, making it exceptionally easy to enjoy.
Q: What makes this Premium Edition different from the Standard First-Grade Edition?
A: The key difference lies in the raw material grade and resulting cup quality. This Premium Edition uses special-grade (特级) spring buds exclusively from Fengqing and Lincang in Yunnan—the highest classification available. The Standard Edition uses first-grade material from the same regions. Special-grade buds contain higher concentrations of amino acids and aromatic compounds, which translate to noticeably sweeter, more complex, and more fragrant tea. The liquor is brighter and cleaner, with enhanced smoothness and a more pronounced returning sweetness (huigan). For collectors and connoisseurs seeking the ultimate Fu Brick Tea experience, this edition represents the pinnacle of the craft.
Q: Why does On Taoism use Yunnan raw materials instead of traditional Shaanxi or Hunan sources?
A: Golden Flowers can't fix poor-quality tea leaves—the starting material shapes how the final tea will taste. Traditional Fu Brick uses leaves from Anhua, Hunan, giving an earthy taste. On Taoism pioneered the use of premium Yunnan tea leaves—sourced from the same high-mountain regions famous for exceptional Pu-erh tea. Yunnan's ancient tea trees and mineral-rich soils produce leaves with superior sweetness, higher amino acid content, and more complex aromatics. This innovation dramatically elevates the final product: brighter liquor color, cleaner taste, enhanced fragrance, and a more refined mouthfeel. The 2025 World Tea Championship recognition validates this innovative approach.
Q: I noticed some golden powder and tea particles in my tin. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is completely normal and does not affect quality whatsoever. Because this tea is pre-broken into chunks at the factory for your convenience, the pieces naturally move and contact each other during shipping. This causes some Golden Flower spores and fine tea particles to separate and settle at the bottom of the tin. These are the same beneficial probiotics and tea material—simply add them to your brewing vessel along with the chunks. This minor cosmetic variation is unavoidable with pre-broken tea and is absolutely not a quality defect. If pristine presentation is essential to you, we recommend our intact brick options instead.

Ideal Conditions:

- Room temperature is acceptable; avoid refrigeration
Container Guidelines:
- The original tin provides excellent protection; keep it sealed when not in use

- Avoid completely airtight containers, as Fu Brick Tea benefits from minimal air exchange
Aging Potential:
- This tea is enjoyable now and will continue to mellow and deepen over the next 10-20 years
- Fresh Fu Brick is brighter and sweeter; aged Fu Brick is deeper and more unified.
- Check periodically for any off-odors or mold (distinct from golden flowers); properly stored tea should remain clean and fragrant
