How is Qian Liang Cha Pressed? Anhua Dark Tea | Heicha Process | ZhenTea

Qian Liang Cha is one of the most compressed tea we've ever seen. If breaking a puerh tea brick is not hard enough, this dark tea will definitely be a true challenge. As a matter of fact, we don't break this tea with pu erh tea knife or pick, we saw this tea! And this is kind of compression is not done by machine! Wow, manpower!

Let's go behind the scene and see how this super-pressed tea is done. This traditional tea processing step is done by 6 or 7 men, with repeated pressing and tightening for about 30 minutes. Such a labor-intensive step!

Knowing this hard work, I'll be cursing less when I break my next Qian Liang Cha. Haha!

Happy sipping,
Phil and Zhen
