For many centuries, “Golden Flower” - the golden fungus in Hunan Province dark tea - has been a dietary supplement to the people of Tibet. Under a high magnifying glass, the golden flower is golden yellow, shaped like a spherical mushroom.
Clinical studies have shown the bacteria can effectively inhibit the proliferation of colon, gastric and liver cancer cells. Recent Hunan Agricultural University studies have found that eurotium cristatum (Golden Flower) can play an active role in prolonging the life span of human beings. In addition, it also has a very significant effect on the improvement of intestinal, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
The golden flower is generally not easily washed out when tea is made, because the golden flower is grown on the tea. Experiments show that at 120 degrees Celsius, after 20 minutes, the flower remains active. The Golden Flower fungus is now the only fungus listed in China's tea industry as a high-level trade secret protected in China.
Brew method: Golden Flower Dark Tea
Place of Origin: Anhua City, Hunan Province,China
Dosage: eight to 10 grams of tea
Water temperature: boiling water
The brewing procedure: first wake up golden flower dark tea with boiling water, pour out the water after ten seconds. It's all right to wash it 1-2 times. If it is a black tea for more than 3 years old, it is recommended to wake the tea for 2 times. After washing, soak in boiling water. The first time to third times soaked 15 seconds or so, and then drink. An increase of five seconds each time from the fourth start.
Making the brewing method repeatable
The recipe above gives a leaf weight and short infusion times, but the brewing vessel's volume matters too. Record how much water your pot holds at its normal fill level. Use a scale to keep the leaf quantity consistent, then decant each infusion completely into a pitcher. Taste before adding another five seconds: the aim is a balanced cup rather than a fixed number of rounds. If the tea is compressed, choose a small, manageable portion that fits freely in the vessel instead of packing it tightly.
