Many agree Xiaguan Tibetan Flame Brick is one of the best deals in town. Even though it was made by using low grade raw materials.
During my 2011 trip to Shangri-la I saw this product in Tibetan temples. The color of the tea liquid is thick yellowish and it is tasty. The yak milk tea made from this brick was considered as the best beverage, and a vital diet supplement for meat-eating Tibetan.
This brick was dry-stored in Guangzhou, so it matured so much better than most other 2007 teas. It’s mellow, and sweet. The broth has a beautiful red tone that could only be found in a 10 year old tea.
It’s OK not to eat meat for 3 days,but got to drink tea every single day. – Tibetan proverb
