Spring Liu Bao Cha

This dark from Guangxi, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique Liubao dark tea offers bright aromas and a distinct sweetness, culminating in a refreshing, 'sticky' huigan. Its profile gracefully bridges notes commonly found in green, yellow, and even . It sits in the "Bright" and "Sweet" and "Refreshing" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans bright and sweet and refreshing.

Aim for water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). Western style: steep for 3–5 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ infusions) for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Give the leaves a quick rinse with boiling water before your first real steep — it wakes up the flavors and removes any storage dust.

This dark is grown in Guangxi, China. This particular batch comes from the Spring 2021 harvest.
