{"product_id":"2015-hei-cha-brick-hunan-province","title":"2015 Hei Cha Brick, Hunan Province","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis highly compressed 1-kilogram Hei Cha brick, produced in 2015 by the Zhong Cha Hunan Anhua Tea Factory, represents the rich heritage of post-fermented teas from Hunan Province, China. Zhong Cha, a respected tea producer since the mid-20th century, is well known for its expertise in Hei Cha, Pu-erh, and Liu Bao-style teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUnlike Fu Zhuan varieties, this brick does not contain \"Golden Flowers\" (Eurotium cristatum), resulting in a pure and unadorned fermentation profile. Aged for ten years, it has developed a deep, earthy character, highly valued in regions like Mongolia and Tibet, where Hei Cha is prized for its digestive benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDue to its tight compression, this brick requires a sturdy tea knife to break apart. Crafted primarily from leaf material with fewer stems than traditional bricks, it yields a smooth, refined liquor. The taste is bold and warming, featuring rich earthy notes, hints of dark wood, and a gentle sweetness that rounds out the finish. A well-matured tea that exemplifies Zhong Cha’s mastery in Hei Cha production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight per brick:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompression:\u003c\/b\u003e Highly pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan id=\"product_description\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"product_description\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"product_description\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tea Soulmate","offers":[{"title":"Partial Brick 500 grams (17.64 oz)","offer_id":55251666010484,"sku":"HCHB-2015-0002","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Brick 1 kg (35.27 oz)","offer_id":55251666043252,"sku":"HCHB-2015-0001","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Partial Brick 250 grams (8.82 oz)","offer_id":55251666076020,"sku":"HCHB-2015-0003","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/1560\/6900\/files\/MaRou-7_a0e03b8e-bac3-4e5a-972f-835567113cd2.jpg?v=1787995988","url":"https:\/\/teasoulmate.com\/products\/2015-hei-cha-brick-hunan-province","provider":"Tea Soulmate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
