2017 Ginseng Aroma Liu Bao Tea

This exceptional Liu Bao tea is the creation of Yi Yanhua, a renowned Chinese tea master and official inheritor of Guangxi’s intangible cultural heritage for Liu Bao tea craftsmanship. Coming from a family with a long-standing tradition in tea making, Yi Yanhua brings generations of expertise into every step of the process. This tea has received a coveted gold medal at a prestigious tea competition, reflecting its extraordinary quality and artistry.

Carefully selected from tender young leaf buds of superior local tea varieties, this Liu Bao tea embodies meticulous craftsmanship and rare terroir. One of its most striking features is its natural “shenxiang” (参香) — a rare ginseng-like aroma that is highly prized, even among aged teas stored for over 30 years. This unique fragrance arises from a fortunate convergence of exceptional raw materials, traditional processing techniques, and the ideal dry storage conditions found in Liu Bao town.

The brewed tea offers a mellow, smooth taste with a rich body and a strong salivating effect that lingers on the palate. Its stable and enduring shenxiang adds depth and elegance, making each cup a multi-layered sensory experience. This tea is not only a rare find for collectors but also a refined indulgence for those who appreciate the profound charm of traditionally crafted, high-grade Liu Bao tea.
