Liu Bao Cha

This Liu Bao offers a deep, earthy foundation with a distinctive wild character. Notes of forest floor and a unique betel nut aroma (Bin Lang Xiang) unfold, culminating in a smooth, satisfying dark te. It leans earthy, nutty and wild.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Guangxi, China. This batch is from the 2024 harvest.

Starts at $1.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.07/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.42 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
