Tea Cake & Tea Brick

A great treasure from Asia is the many varieties of delicious, healing teas that began in ancient China and Japan. Wing Hop Fung specializes in a wide tea selection that improves digestion, weight loss, and mood.

茶餅:又稱餅茶、團茶。歐陽修《歸田錄》:茶之品,莫貴于龍鳳,謂之團茶,凡八餅重一斤。“現在仍然采用餅茶生產技術的主要就有普洱茶、六堡茶、老白茶,這樣更能發揮其越陳越香的特色風味。

普洱茶餅都是用普洱茶壓縮成餅的形狀,俗稱普洱茶餅。普洱茶多爲餅狀壓制的方式儲藏及運輸,歷史上一餅為357克,七餅為一挑,方便計算以及騾馬馱運。

茶磚:又稱磚茶、蒸壓茶,顧名思義,就是外形像磚一樣的茶葉,它是緊壓茶中比較有代表性的一種,以茶葉、茶莖,有時還配以茶末壓制成的塊狀茶。

茶磚出現于光緒年間,很多產茶地開始製作成磚茶。從前茶農交給晉商的散裝茶,體積大、重量輕,運輸不便,且需將茶葉裝入竹簍内,踩壓結實後,再行運輸頗有耗損。爲了適應茶商的要求,因而出現了磚茶生產。

最早出現的茶磚,始自光緒初年,初期壓制法一般都是采用人工壓制;從光緒四年(1878)以後,便逐漸采用了水力壓機和蒸汽機來加工磚茶。方法簡單有效便於操作。可以說西方先進工業技術,最早在我國出現,茶磚真實的表現了清代我國對外貿易的歷史面貌,以及近代科技在我國的發展演變過程。

    品品香 福鼎白茶饼 老白茶砖 陈年老白茶叶 白牡丹茶饼砖赛白金1025 500g/盒 PPX Bai Mu Dan/ Sai Bai Jin White Tea Cake (1025) Limit Made by one bud with two tea leaves, this premium white tea cake is highly sought after for its delicate, mellow, sweet taste. . . . Extremely popular in Asia, aged white tea pressed into tea cakes is highly sought after for its mellow, woody taste with hints of sweetness on the finish. Some of the most coveted white tea from China comes from the Funding region of Fujian Province, China. In the West its often thought that fresh white tea from the year of harvest is best. Yet in the East, this is not necessarily true. In fact, the current trend in China and other parts of Asia is the appreciation of all things aged. Aged white tea cakes are an experience all their own. As these White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) cakes age more subtle and complex flavors appear. . . . Literally meaning White Peony, Bai Mu Dan comes from Fujian Province, China. Leaves are sun-dried after plucking and then piled for a short time. Finally, the leaves are baked to be finished for shipping. Bai Mu Dan, also known as Bai Mudan, White Tea was developed in the 1920s in Fujian as China worked to meet the demand for unique teas from the United States and Europe. Bai Mu Dan is usually a bud and has either one or two small open leaves. When you look at the dried leaves they resemble small peony flowers; hence the name White Peony Tea. The bud in Bai Mu Dan is shorter than Bai Hao Silver Needle White Tea typically, as it is made from different cultivars of Camellia Sinensis. Bai Mu Dan is also dried in the sun. However, it is typically baked after drying resulting in a wide array of colors in the leaves from silver to the dark brown you would expect from a black tea. Still, the tea is only around 5-7% oxidized.  This white tea can be brewed just like Bai Hao, however, you should experiment with brewing it like an oolong, with a water temperature up to 190° Fahrenheit and 3-5 minutes of steeping. It produces a very different flavor depending on how it is prepared. Brewed as you would a white tea you get a smooth floral tea. Brewed as you would an oolong (closer to 190°) and you will get strong muscatel flavors with a hint of nuttiness from the very pale yellow liquor. (dominiontea.com)

    NA KA RAW Pu-Erh TEA CAKE - 2014

    Out of stock

    那卡 手工普洱生茶 茶饼 2014年 NA KA RAW Pu-Erh TEA CAKE - 2014 This tea has a straightforward, clean, woodsy aroma and an attractive pale-gold colored liquor in the cup. Be careful when steeping this leaf, as over-steeping it can turn this tea into a pithy and bitter beverage. Naka is a Lahu minority village located at the northern end of Mengsong area, between Menghai and Jinghong. It is a remote area close to the highest peak in Xishuangbanna. The ancient tea trees in this area grow at elevations as high as 5,900 – 6,500 feet. The environment is colder here than in other tea-growing areas of Xishuangbanna, which results in tea trees with slightly smaller leaves and unique aromas. Sheng Pu-Erh (aka raw Pu'er)  is un-fermented when young but microbial activity on the leaf will allow the tea to slowly ferment overtime when the tea is kept under good storage conditions. Sheng Pu-er can be drunk now or stored for years to allow a slow microbial transformation of the tea into something rich and full. Similar to young wines that will, over time, transform into much more substantial wines, Sheng Pu-er is prized by collectors and tea enthusiasts for this ability to age and improve over time. The Naka tea harvesting area is located near the Mengsong/Nannuo tea harvesting areas which are populated by Hani people who own a dense concentration of ancient tea trees. They take their tea and the presence of their tea trees to be a connection to their ancestors.

    八角亭 勐海御沱 2007生茶 普洱沱茶 盒装 200克 MengHai Yu Tuo Tuocha Pu-Erh Dark Tea(200 g) Pu-Erh is a fermented, digestive tea. The “raw” Pu-Erh is similar in taste and health properties to green tea. Dark Pu-Erh is aged longer than raw Pu-Erh and has a stronger distinctive ripe, earthy, semi-sweet flavor. It has been used to improve digestion and circulation and contains a natural statin known to help reduce harmful cholesterol and improve weight loss.  Menghai Tea Factory was formally established in 1940 by a group of over 90 tea professionals with origins from all over China. It is possibly the oldest specialized tea factory in Yunnan Province. Because of this, it has a solid reputation that is well respected by Pu-erh tea enthusiasts. It is located in Menghai county of Xishuangbanna prefecture, which is renowned for being one of the birthplaces of Chinese tea culture. They were one of the first two tea factories (along with the Kunming Tea Factory) to come up with the 'wodui'  method of ripening Pu-Erh tea in 1973, and have a series of recipes that are undisputed as some of the finest ripened Pu-erh teas available.
