Liu Bao Cha

This aged Liu Bao offers a deep, earthy aroma with notes of damp wood and a hint of camphor. The liquor unfolds with a smooth, rich body, delivering flavors of sweet dates and a comforting minerality . It leans earthy, woody and sweet.

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 2017 harvest.
