The Mystical "Golden Flower"
The post-fermentate dark tea is purposely processed and fermented in a humid environment to promote the growth of certain fungi, which have been called "jin hua" literally "golden flowers" because of its golden yellow color.
"Golden Flower" is the nickname of eurotium cristatum (coronoid process of eurotium fungi).
Generally speaking, the process of producing "Golden Flower " is----the water and heat during fermentation promote the growth of preponderant fungus---eurotium cristatum. Which will further join together with the polyphenols mixture of phenolic compounds inside tea leaves, then the "golden flower" start growing. So, it is also the process of forming the special dark color, aroma and flavor of the dark tea.
The “Golden Flower” is in yellow granular thallus form and could only be found after dark tea bricks split.
The quantity of the golden flower granule is a very important factor in judging the quality of a dark tea brick. It affects the composition and aroma of Fu brick tea and greatly improves the quality and flavor of dark tea.
It is considered one of the key elements that not only make dark tea have its symbolized aroma and taste but also have health benefits for people.
