The word "Zang" is actually a short form for "Xi Zang", which means Tibet. Black tea brick has a long history in Tibetan culture and is an indispensable part of their diet. Drinking tea brick is known to help Tibetans keep their body warm, aid digestion, cleanse the body of accumulated lactic acid, rejuvenate inner strength and increase stamina. A Tibetan can fall sick in a matter of days without it. Our Zang Zhuan Cha is compressed using tea leaves that have been aged for at least two years.

Most refreshing tea I have encountered for a while.

This is the first tea i buy on this shop and the only thing i can say is that i really like it, This Chun Jian Zang as got an exceptional aroma ( for my taste... )

I felt the woody notes others have mentioned to be an undertone with the following description being the more pronounced. I interpreted the flavor as reminiscent of goji berries (as I have had them- dried) and MILD floral notes with a palatable sweetness. Each infusion carries enough flavor and delicacy to enjoy- I stopped after 5 infusions.
Cups brew from a medium, clear-rusty red to a pale clear-reddish orange with little to no discernible astringency.
Will undoubtedly enjoy the remainder of my brick.
