A História Por Trás deste Chá
No ano de 1368, com a ascensão da Dinastia Ming ao poder, um chá revolucionário nasceu nos cruzamentos poeirentos de Jingyang, Shaanxi. O Fu Brick Tea tem raízes profundas na história chinesa. Ele começou durante a Dinastia Ming, por volta de 1368, na província de Shaanxi, em Jingyang. Pelas trilhas poeirentas da antiga Rota da Seda, uma moeda única viajava nas costas de camelos. Não era ouro nem seda, mas um tijolo denso e escuro de chá que sustentava impérios e alimentava culturas nômades. Este era o Fu Brick Tea, conhecido como o 'Chá Sustentador de Vida' por ajudar a complementar dietas ricas em carne dos povos do Tibete, Mongólia e Xinjiang. Esta Edição do 650º Aniversário honra esse legado extraordinário.
A fábrica de chá On Taoism (Ji Yu Dao / 几于道) recebe seu nome do Tao Te Ching: 'O bem supremo é como a água'—nutrindo todas as coisas sem competição, aproximando-se da essência da verdade. Como produtor pioneiro, On Taoism abriu novos caminhos ao usar folhas de chá premium de Yunnan das regiões de Fengqing e Lincang—uma mudança revolucionária dos materiais brutos convencionais provenientes de Shaanxi. Essa inovação, combinada com padrões impecáveis de produção limpa, rendeu reconhecimento global. Vencedora do Prêmio Folha Superior no Campeonato Mundial de Chá de 2025. O clássico Golden Flower Fu Brick Tea da fábrica de chá On Taoism é um marco de nossa casa de chá. Seu Fu Tea também conquistou uma Medalha de Ouro na Expo Milão 2015, representando a cidade de Xianyang — o local de nascimento do Fu Brick Tea.
O que chega à sua porta é uma celebração de seis séculos e meio de maestria: uma lata elegantemente embalada contendo pedaços pré-quebrados de Fu Tea de pontas de broto Grau-1, adornados com brilhantes Flores Douradas (Jin Hua / 金花). Cientificamente, essas partículas são um fungo probiótico benéfico chamado Eurotium cristatum. Esse microorganismo é intencionalmente cultivado durante a produção do chá e é completamente seguro. Em um Fu Brick Tea de alta qualidade, os dois indicadores mais importantes são a distribuição uniforme e a riqueza das Flores Douradas. Cada xícara entrega um aroma fresco e vivo, líquido âmbar cristalino e uma doçura satisfatória que permanece muito depois do último gole—prova de que tradição e inovação podem coexistir belamente.

Q: What flavor profile can I expect from this tea?
A: This 650th Anniversary Fu Brick Tea offers a remarkably fresh and elegant profile compared to typical dark teas. Expect an initial wave of natural sweetness reminiscent of honey, dried longan, and roasted sweet potato — followed by subtle earthy undertones of toasted grain and forest mushroom. This probiotic changes the tea's taste. It reduces bitterness while creating a mellow, sweet, and smooth flavor profile. The mouthfeel is velvety and full without any harshness, and the finish leaves a pleasant, lingering sweetness in your throat. Unlike some heavier dark teas, this one is bright, clean, and approachable—perfect for those new to Fu Tea or experienced drinkers seeking refinement.
Q: Why does this Fu Brick Tea use Yunnan leaf material instead of traditional Shaanxi or Hunan leaves?
A: Traditional Fu Brick Tea typically uses coarser, mature leaves from Shaanxi's Qinling Mountains or Hunan's Anhua region. On Taoism pioneered the use of premium Yunnan tea leaves from the renowned Fengqing and Lincang regions—areas famous for producing exceptional Pu-erh and Dian Hong teas. The tea leaves come from grade one dark tea from Lincang, Yunnan, and the tea aroma is more intense. The tea leaves come from particular grade one dark tea from Fengqing, Yunnan, and the tea aroma is deeper. This innovation results in a noticeably brighter liquor color, livelier aroma, smoother mouthfeel, and more complex sweetness than conventional Fu Brick Tea. The higher concentration of tender buds and young leaves also means more delicate flavor compounds survive the fermentation process.
Q: Why use Grade-1 bud-tip material? How does it differ from standard Fu Brick Tea?
A: Most commercial Fu Brick Tea is made from Grade-3 or Grade-4 mature leaves with stems, which produces a robust but rougher profile. This commemorative edition uses exclusively Grade-1 bud-tip material (Ya Tou Liao / 芽头料)—the tenderest, most nutrient-rich part of the tea plant. Golden Flowers can't fix poor-quality tea leaves. The starting material shapes how the final tea will taste. The result is a cleaner, more refined cup with enhanced sweetness, reduced earthiness, and superior visual clarity. You'll notice the difference immediately in the golden-amber liquor and the delicate, lingering fragrance.
Q: What are the Golden Flowers, and are they safe?
A: Its most famous feature is the "Golden Flowers" (Eurotium cristatum), a helpful mold that grows within the brick during fermentation, giving the tea its special smell and health benefits. These tiny golden-yellow specks are not contamination—they are the hallmark of authentic, high-quality Fu Brick Tea. The more abundant and evenly distributed the Golden Flowers, the better the fermentation and the higher the tea's quality. Golden Flowers contribute to the tea's mellow sweetness and potential digestive benefits. They are completely safe and are actually prized for their probiotic properties.
Q: I'm interested in an even more premium version. Is there one available?
A: Yes! For those seeking the ultimate Fu Brick Tea experience, we offer a Premium Edition made with Special-Grade Yunnan material in elegant black tin packaging. It features even more refined leaf selection, deeper complexity, and exceptional aging potential. Explore the Premium Edition here.
