Fu Zhuan tea is an unique product that it will develop "golden flowers" by aging. In Mongolia and Xinjiang, Fu Zhuan tea is an important beverage for digestion. The more "golden flowers" in tea, the better in quality.
“Golden Flower” known as eurotium cristatum, is a dominant fungus in the production process. The scientist has only identified this natural microorganism in the past 30 years.
