This 2017 Liu Bao tea from Liu Bao Town, Guangxi is made from premium Guiqing cultivar tea leaves and crafted by renowned tea master Yi Yanhua, an official inheritor of traditional Liu Bao tea-making heritage. It is a smooth, aged dark tea with rich character, low caffeine, and a rare natural ginseng-like aroma. The tea is suitable for daily drinking, long tea sessions, collectors, and tea lovers who enjoy complex aged teas with deep traditional character.

The aroma is layered and elegant with natural ginseng-like notes, aged wood, glutinous rice, floral fragrance, and mild herbal sweetness. The tea liquor is smooth, mellow, full-bodied, and clean with a rich texture and lasting sweet aftertaste. Each infusion reveals deeper complexity, strong salivation, and a refined aged character that lingers in the mouth.

This tea is traditionally handcrafted using classic Liu Bao tea-making methods passed down through generations. Careful processing, natural aging, and dry storage in the Liubao region help develop its rare and stable shenxiang (ginseng-like aroma). The tea reflects the traditional craftsmanship and heritage of high-grade authentic Liu Bao tea.

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing.  

Traditional Gongfu Style 

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 10 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.

Thermal Steeping 

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:200. Pour boiling water into a ceramic-lined insulated flask or teapot. Close the lid and let it steep for 1 to 2 hours before drinking. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing and enjoying.
