Liubu Linglong is a premium aged dark tea made from wild old trees in Hunan, China. It is smooth, low in caffeine, and shaped into convenient single-serving thin discs. This sweet, refreshing tea with a strong mountain energy is perfect for tea enthusiasts, busy professionals, and people who love deep, complex flavors.

The dry tea discs are dark brown and glossy with beautiful golden buds. The tea pours a thick, glowing amber color. It smells like roasted chestnuts, sweet rice cakes, camphor wood, and dark chocolate. The first few cups are soft and taste like fresh mountain spring water. Later cups become rich and mellow, bringing a sweet date and honey flavor with a cool, minty finish. A very light bitterness quickly turns into a long-lasting sweetness. The tea feels silky and leaves your mouth feeling refreshed. The wet leaves stay soft and whole, showing a healthy brownish-green color with a faint red glow.

The name comes from a legend about six sacred deer that lived in an ancient forest. This tea is crafted using traditional imperial tribute methods that require eighteen strict steps. It undergoes full fermentation and careful roasting. Made in the spring of 2017, the tea is pressed into small, 6-gram coin shapes for easy brewing. It has aged beautifully for years, allowing the harshness to disappear and letting a rich, mature character develop.

Steeping Guidelines

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.
