Village Batch Organic Greek Mountain Tea

This loose leaf tea goes by many names; Iron wort, Shephard’s tea, or Tsai tou Vounou (Greek for “tea of the mountain”). It is the Sideritis plant which is cultivated in Greece and surrounding countries, while we harvest ours from the slopes of Mt. Parnon in the East Peloponnese. Most areas have their own local name for this tea, but they all seek it out for its unique flavor and its comforting properties.

2016 Cha Yu Lin “Fu Rong Mountain” Fu Brick Tea

$43.50

This brick is composed entirely of first-flush spring 2026 leaves harvested from Fu Rong Mountain in Anhua County at 800-900 meters. The material is clean, vibrant, and carefully processed, with the deep richness and clarity that only well-selected early-spring leaves can deliver.

In the cup, this tea is thick, smooth and naturally sweet, with a warm, burgundy liquor that glows in the pitcher. Expect notes of dark fruit, wild honey, and soft woody depth, accompanied by that unmistakable Fu Cha character, a combination of gentle fermentation, clean storage, and the subtle influence of “Golden Flowers” that brings roundness and comfort with every sip. This is a standout tea both for daily enjoyment and long-term aging.

Ch Yu Lin is a small, artisanal producer based in the Anhua region of Hunan, known for crafting their own Fu with meticulous attention to detail. Founded in 2005, their operation remains quality-driven and hands-on, with every batch made in small volumes and aged carefully in their local environment. We are proud to offer this exceptional Fu Rong Mountain Fu Brick, one of their most distinctive and refined small-batch productions.
