2012 was the year when I started really getting into tea here in Hong Kong. This brick was the first brick of tea I ever purchased; there was some discussion of fu zhuan cha on Teachat, and the eurotium cristatum (or golden flower fungus) in the tea made it sound very interesting!
Fu bricks are known for a healthy layer of golden flowers, or jin hua, that grow on the tea. Down here in Hong Kong, this fungus is sometimes found on traditionally stored pu erh. What I didn't know at the time was that fu tea from Hunan is often innoculated with a flour-like starter that helps get the fungus going!
