History of "Bao Yan" Series:

The "Bao Yan" (Fire) series has a storied history dating back to the middle of the last century. Initially catering to regions such as Tibet, western Sichuan province, and Yunnan province, the brand was officially registered in the late 1990s. Production was sporadic until Fei Tai tea company revived the series in 2003, updating the recipe and quality to suit modern market demands. Since then, the "Bao Yan" series has been successfully reintroduced, offering a range of tea types including tuo (nest), cake, and brick.

Storage:

Similar to other XiaGuan teas discussed earlier, the "Bao Yan Jin Cha" has been stored naturally in Guangzhou. This natural storage environment facilitates the aging process, allowing the tea to develop its unique flavor profile and characteristics over time.
