From Yunnan Sourcing

This is a lovely production of 2016 spring harvested tea from the wilds of An Hua county in Hunan. The name of the tea “Ya Pan Ye Fang” 崖畔野放 means “wild on the cliff”. This describes the terrain of the Yun Tai mountains where this tea grows. Rocky, steep, and wild. Tea trees grow well in this terrain, although picking the tea is quite labor intensive!

The tea is a blend of grade 1-3 (grade refers to leaf size) tea leaves that was expertly processed and pressed. The inner part of the brick is flourishing with golden flowers (Eurotium cristatum).

Incredibly unique Fu Zhuan tea! Light level of smokiness, caramel, fruit, and mushroom broth abounds! Smooth and sweet after-taste, with a lubricating mouth feel! Mineral “rock” taste, light bitterness if you push with longer steeps, but very sweet as well. Nice cha qi, not overpowering.

Each Brick is 380 grams. 6 Bricks (2.4kg) in the wooden gift box is also available, but cannot be shipped by ePacket.

Produced by the China Tea Co. (Hunan)

Have to say, absolutely brilliant brick. Yes, taste is all over the place but I don’t brew it any specific method bar throwing a chunk into this

but back to main criteria. It must not make me hungry. It must not make me sleepy. That almost sounded like some part of bible. I have no problem with concept of day tranquilizer, that is, sedating but not affecting motor skills. Like snowing inside your head. Another accidental food pairing. I got into lard few weeks ago.

That’s downward spiral from bacon. Since then I skipped my Wednesday shopping at ethincal joint. Then it got even weirder. I got this

my recent habit of liubaos was interrupted by postage. I was even considering getting 1815 brick. But Yunnan sourcing could only ship to the north. So this was really a test package that I knew I could give away easily. It is sitting in the upper drawer of my desk waiting for unsuspecting courier open to conversation about nazi conspiracy so I can shift it further. One day I get caught. I will say it is sliver fox chronicles. Apparently, as a post vax recoveree not only I am able to gulp wine like there is no tomorrow, I can get back into fuzhuans. Which are way cheaper. I am not sure if there is any other positive aspect of that. So I got Romanian brand “marcel” smoked lard. Best thing ever So now, slice of lard at 6am, 2 cups of fu zhuan at midday and then whatever happens on the way home. What could possibly go wrong.
