청정 생산의 선구자 — 도교는 전통적인 Fahua(발화, fā huā) 개화 기술을 존중하면서 위생적인 현대식 생산 방법을 도입하여 후 브릭 차를 혁신했습니다.
이 차의 이야기
후 브릭 차는 600년 이상 전 섬서성 징양에서 시작되었으며, 그 독특한 '금화'는 발효 과정에서 자연스럽게 형성됩니다. 이 기념 에디션은 후 브릭 차 탄생 650주년을 기념하며, 유로티움 크리스타툼(Eurotium cristatum)이라는 유익한 프로바이오틱스 균을 통해 평범한 어두운 차를 액체 금으로 변화시키는 예술을 완성한 여러 세대의 차 장인들을 기립니다.
도교(几于道, Jǐ Yú Dào)라는 이름은 노자의 도덕경에서 따온 것으로, '가장 높은 선은 물과 같아 모든 것을 기르되 경쟁하지 않는다'는 철학을 나타냅니다. 이 철학은 생산의 모든 측면을 이끕니다. 전통적인 후 브릭 차는 섬서 또는 호남의 거친 잎에 의존하는 반면, 도교는 윈난의 펑칭과 린창 지역에서 특급 봄 새싹을 선택함으로써 새로운 지평을 열었습니다. 새로운 차 제조업체들은 이제 윈난의 높은 산에서 나는 잎을 사용하여 흥미로운 새로운 맛을 만들어냅니다. 결과적으로 밝고, 달콤하며, 드물게 어두운 차에서 발견되는 섬세한 신선함을 가진 차가 탄생했습니다.
각 벽돌은 마스터의 감독하에 오랜 Fahua(발화) 개화 과정을 거쳐 촘촘하고 고른 분포의 찬란한 금색 꽃을 보장합니다. 개화가 완료되면 차는 공장에서 조심스럽게 덩어리로 부수어지고 정교한 주석 안의 보호 종이에 담겨 즉시 즐길 준비가 됩니다. 이 에디션은 고대 공예와 현대적 편의성을 모두 존중하며 600년의 차 지혜를 여러분의 컵에 직접 가져다줍니다.
당신의 푸차 벽돌 여정을 시작할 준비가 되셨나요?

- 도교의 제품은 후 브릭 차의 발상지인 시안양 시를 대표하며 2015 밀라노 세계 박람회에서 '중국 유명 차 금상'을 수상했습니다.
- 후 브릭 차는 복잡한 미생물 발효 및 압축 공정을 통해 그 맛과 품질을 결정짓는 독특한 프로바이오틱스 '금화'를 특징으로 합니다.

- Traditional Wodui (渥堆, wò duī) pile fermentation followed by authentic Fahua (发花, fā huā) flowering process

Important Note: The pre-broken chunks may shift during shipping, causing some Golden Flower spores and tea dust to separate—this is completely normal and does not affect quality.If you prefer pristine presentation, please consider this before purchasing.
-
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.

Gongfu Style (Recommended for Full Flavor Expression)
This method reveals the tea's complete flavor evolution across multiple infusions.
What You Need: Gaiwan or small teapot (100-150ml), tea tray, fair cup, tasting cups
Steps:
- Warm all vessels with boiling water; discard the water
- Add 5-7g of tea chunks (approximately one small handful)

- Subsequent infusions: Add 5-10 seconds per round as the session progresses
- This tea yields 10-15 excellent infusions; observe how sweetness and depth evolve

- Strain and serve; add more water to the pot for subsequent rounds
- The same leaves can be boiled 3-4 times
Tasting Notes: Boiling extracts maximum depth and body, producing an amber-red liquor with pronounced grain and caramel notes.
Steeping in a Thermos (Menpaifa / 闷泡法)

Western Style (Mug or French Press)
A convenient approach for casual enjoyment.
What You Need: Large mug (350-500ml) with infuser, or French press
Steps:
- Add 3-5g of tea chunks to your vessel
- Pour boiling water (100C/212F) directly over the tea

Storage Recommendations
Proper storage ensures your Fu Brick Tea continues to develop beautifully over time.
Ideal Conditions:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight

- Keep away from strong odors—tea absorbs surrounding aromas easily
- Room temperature is acceptable; avoid refrigeration
Container Guidelines:
- The original tin provides excellent protection; keep it sealed when not in use
- For long-term aging, consider transferring to a breathable paper bag inside a cardboard box
- 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
