This 2020 Raw (Sheng) Liu Bao Tea is made from original cultivar tea leaves (Yuanzhong 原种) grown in the traditional Liu Bao tea region of Guangxi, China. It has a smooth, mellow, and naturally aged character with low caffeine, making it a good choice for daily drinking and long tea sessions.

The aroma is floral and sweet with notes of orchid, honey, bamboo, and light aged fungal notes. The taste is smooth, clean, mellow, and gently sweet with a lingering aftertaste. The flavor becomes deeper and more complex after several infusions.

This tea is traditionally crafted and naturally aged using classic Liu Bao processing methods. Slow aging and microbial fermentation help create its smooth texture and rich aroma.

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.
