- Description
- Qing Zhuan tea is a compressed dark tea produced from the south of Hubei province. Its production started in Yangloudong around a few hundred years ago, an ancient town and the origin of the Sino-Russian Tea Road. It is very popular among the Mongolians, who often boil this tea and mix with milk and other ingredients. This particular Qing Zhuan is from 2011 and weighs 1.7kg per brick. It is a high-quality Qing Zhuan tea that has aged for over ten years. Since it’s tightly compressed, boiling in a teapot will help the tea leaves fall apart.
