Crafted by Sanhe Tea Factory, this Liu Bao dark tea was aged from 2008 and packed on May 21, 2011, in simple raw paper bags that reflect its traditional style. The liquor brews to a deep, clear reddish hue with a rich, full-bodied taste. Its aroma reveals mature aged notes layered with hints of herbal and betel nut fragrance—distinct yet refined, with lasting charm and depth.
Brewing suggestion:
Use 5–8g of tea for about 180–200ml of water. Brew with freshly boiled water (spring water is ideal) for 7–10 seconds each infusion. A Yixing clay teapot is recommended to bring out the best flavor.
