Heizhuan, or dark brick, is one of the three Zhuans (Hei-Zhuan, Hua-Zhuan and Fu-Zhuan) of Anhua’s Heicha. In the history, Heizhuan was specifically produced for the minorities in Tibet and other northwest remote regions, where people drink butter tea or milk tea, so this tea is reasonably requested to have a stronger taste. As more and more people start to drink Heizhuan and without adding milk or butter, nowadays it is produced with refined material, thus the taste is softened. Our 2016 Anhua Heizhuan has the typical flavors and aromas of the category itself. It reminds us of camphor wood and pine resin, and slightly brings a nice touch of pine wood smoke and some subtle notes of baked mung beans. In addition, you can also try some exotic taste, by adding milk together with sugar or salt, as the Tibetans and Central Asian people do, which is its original use.
 
Heizhuan is very tightly compressed, there isn’t a proper environment inside the brick for the generation of "golden flowers", so you will not find them in this tea.
