Produced in Liu Bao Town 六堡镇, the heart of Liu Bao tea 六堡茶 production, this exquisite tea benefits from the region's pristine natural environment and lush forests. As the birthplace of Liu Bao tea, this region provides the ideal conditions for cultivating this unique variety. This Liubao tea is a masterpiece crafted by a renowned Chinese tea artisan, an esteemed inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. It has been awarded the coveted gold medal at a prestigious tea competition. True to its name, the tea boasts the finest quality ingredients, meticulously selected from tender young leaf buds. 

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.

Steeping Guidelines

Gaiwan or Zisha Teapot
Both Gaiwan and Zisha Teapot are perfect for appreciating the tea’s aroma and flavor through multiple infusions. Use water at 212°F (100°C) to extract the full flavor and aroma. The recommended tea-to-water ratio is 1 gram of tea for every 25 milliliters of water. For steeping, start with 5 seconds for the first four infusions (5s / 5s / 5s / 5s) and gradually increase the time from the fifth infusion onward (10 seconds, then longer as desired).

Thermos:
This method produces a concentrated broth while maintaining heat and aroma. Using a Thermos teapot or Thermos teacup at a tea to water ratio of 1:200 (for example, 4 grams of tea to 800 milliliter of water). Place the tea leaves in the stainless steel filter. Pour boiling water (212°F or 100°C ) into the teapot. Close the lid tightly and let the tea steep for one hour to allow the flavors to fully develop. After an hour, pour the tea into cups and enjoy the rich, mellow taste. Can immersed multiple times.
