In China, we call summer season as “Fu” season. Fu Brick Tea is processed in summer season, so it is called Fu Brick Tea. Fu Brick Tea is famous for its “Golden Flowers”. "Golden Flowers" are formed during processing of Fu brick tea.

The special technic of processing Fu Brick Tea cultivates a kind of Probiotics called Eurotium cristatum. The Eurotium Cristatum is gold in color, so people generally call it “Golden Flowers”.

In accordance with national standards, the more the “Golden Flowerss” are, the better the tea quality is. Generally saying, “good tea with “Golden Flowers”, better tea with more “Golden Flowers”. There is no strict requirement on “Golden Flowers” for the other kind of Anhua Dark Tea except Fu Brick Tea.
