Liubao Tea – Rich Aroma, Aged Wuzhou Cellar-Stored Ripe Tea, Gift Box, 250g

Description

Product Description

This Liubao Tea is a premium aged ripe tea from Wuzhou, Guangxi – the historic birthplace of Liubao tea. Carefully stored in traditional cellars over years of aging, this tea has developed a deep, rich character that is both complex and deeply satisfying.

Crafted from selected ancient tree fresh leaves, this tea undergoes a meticulous aging process in dry cellars, allowing it to transform slowly over time. The dry leaves are dark brown with a lustrous, oily sheen – tightly twisted, with prominent golden buds that reflect the quality of the raw material.

When brewed, the tea releases a rich, long-lasting aged fragrance – a signature of well-stored Liubao tea. The liquor is a deep, rich red – bright, clear, and visually inviting. The taste is smooth, mellow, and gently sweet, with a warm, comforting character that lingers on the palate. The tea is remarkably durable, holding its character through multiple infusions.

Tasting Notes

Health Benefits

Liubao tea has long been valued for its health-promoting properties:

• Supports digestion – particularly beneficial after heavy or oily meals

• Warms the stomach – smooth and gentle, suitable for daily consumption

• Rich in antioxidants – supports overall wellness and a healthy immune system

• Calming and soothing – the warm, aged character has a naturally relaxing effect

Brewing Recommendation

Steps:

1. Warm the vessel – Rinse with boiling water and discard.

2. Add the leaves – Place the tea into the warm vessel.

3. Rinse (Awakening) – Pour boiling water over the leaves and immediately pour it out after 5–8 seconds. This removes any dust and awakens the aged leaves.

4. First infusion – Refill with boiling water, cover, and steep for 8–10 seconds. Decant into a fairness cup.

5. Subsequent infusions – Add 5–10 seconds to the steeping time for each additional brew. This tea holds its character for 10–12 infusions, with the aged fragrance and sweetness persisting beautifully.

Pro Tip: Aged Liubao tea benefits from a slightly longer rinse to fully awaken the leaves. Use a Yixing purple clay pot for the best results – the clay enhances the tea’s natural thickness and depth.
