The red-brown liquor is clear with an aroma that is rich with notes of roasted chestnuts and a hint of earthiness. The taste is roasty with notes of nut shells and a mild bitterness toward the back that reminds me of coffee.
Per the company website, this instant fuzhuan heicha is a concentration of 8 grams of leaf into 1 gram of powder containing approximately 2.1 million cfu of jin hua (golden flower/Eurotium cristatum) probiotics. There is no stirring necessary and no residue. Unlike some of the other instant teas I've tasted, this does have some of the heicha character. While I much prefer loose leaf heicha, this is a very handy mess-free and travel-friendly alternative that I would drink again.
I received this sample during a presentation at World Tea Expo. At the time of this review, it is not available in the North American market.
