For a background on Yongtaifu (永泰福), see the listing for the 2010 Furong QLC.
On the origin of the “Jiangzhoujuan” name:
道光元年（1820年），陕西商人驻益阳委托行栈汇款到安化定购黑茶，受托行栈雇人下乡采买茶叶原料，踩捆成包，以利运输。最初大小形状和重量不一，后来逐渐统一为小圆柱形，重约老秤100两，称为“百两茶”。清同治年间，晋商“三和公”茶号在“百两茶”的基础上选用较佳原料，增加重量，用棕与篾捆压成圆柱形，每支净重1000两，称为“千两茶”。这种茶主要是晋商经营，又以籍贯不同分为“祁州卷”和“绛州卷”．祁州卷系山西祁县、榆次等地茶商经营，每支重1000两，产量较多；“绛州卷”为绛州茶商经营，每支重1100两，数量较少
This production series thus pays tribute to the old commissions by Jiangzhou (Shanxi) merchants and stays faithful to the slightly above average weight of 1100 liang per log.
This is a relatively rare appearance of a pre-2010 Yongtaifu QLC. The roast adheres to the full fire-style the brand is known for. Mellow, mature aromas with some camphor and chocolate and a nice thickness to the tea liquor. The 2006 production used Gaomaerxi material.
Note: This tea may contain golden flowers (Jinhua/金花), a perfectly natural occurrence in certain heicha teas. Their development depends on factors like microbial activity, storage conditions, and time. However, individuals with Celiac Disease or severe gluten allergies should exercise caution, as we cannot guarantee that no wheat-based materials were involved at any stage of production.
