Why Are There So Many Tea Stems in Dark Tea? Here’s the Answer
Have you noticed that there are many tea stems in quite a few dark teas? Why is this so? Let’s take a look at the answer...... Reasons: 1.

Additionally, a certain stem content helps with the drainage of moisture from the brick and increases its structural strength and integrity. 4. Favorable for the Growth and Reproduction of Golden Flowers The golden flowers (Eurotium cristatum) in Fu brick tea are aerobic fungi.
