Tea Story
Tea Story
This special Liubao tea is carefully crafted by Yi Yanhua, a renowned Chinese tea master from a family with a long tradition in tea making. Yi Yanhua is also a representative inheritor of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region's intangible cultural heritage (Liubao tea making technique). The tea has a unique ginseng-like aroma, known as “shenxiang (参香),” which is exceptionally rare, even in aged teas stored for over 30 years. This distinctive aroma is a fortuitous find. The rich shenxiang of this Liubao tea is closely tied to the quality of the raw materials, the special intangible heritage production techniques, and the dry storage conditions in Liu Bao town. Made from high-grade, superior local tea varieties, this tea's shenxiang is both rich and stable, exuding the charm of aged tea. It offers a sweet, mellow taste with a strong salivating effect. This is a truly exceptional tea, to be savored and cherished.
