About 2015 Heroes of War Fu Dark Tea Brick 380g

Fu Brick is one of the most distinctive dark tea compared with others. The main reason for that is because it contains enzyme bacteria that are beneficial to human beings which is called ‘Eurotium Cristatum’, also known as ‘Golden Flower’.
Golden Flower secretes amylase and oxidase and catalyses the conversion of protein and starch into monosaccharides. Besides, it also catalyses the oxidation of polyphenol compounds and transforms them into substances that are beneficial to the human body. It not only benefits human health but also improves the taste and quality of dark tea brick.
Our Heroes of War Fu Dark Tea Brick is made by ChinaTea Hunan Anhua No.1 Tea Factory, honourably produced by COFCO Group.
However, Eurotium Cristatum is not suitable for anybody. People who have a fever, liver problems, neurasthenia, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, ulcer problem, or urinary stone problem or people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, malnourished, drunk, taking drugs, anaemic should avoid taking dark tea including Fu Dark tea.
