This liubao tea consists of loose leaves originally packaged into the popular Four Gold Coins packets during the 2000s. The Malaysian tea shop, responsible for packing and distributing Four Gold Coins on behalf of the Hong Kong exporting company, retained some of the unpackaged material, which we were fortunate enough to acquire. The tea spans from the 1990s to the mid-2000s in terms of its production range. Dark, rich, smooth, sweet, with some light bitters — this is more ripe in style compared to the 90s Malaysian Commission.

Mothball, beet smell
1. Kind of thin. Just a general beet taste, some powdery sweetness on finish. Light headiness, maybe from a recent caffeine break
2. Pushed a bit for thicker texture. Still beet, powdery finish. Some touch of floral in the finish that some dankly stored teas seem to get (like the changtai 03 bamboo spring/jinzhushan)
3. Steep color lightened. Beet, hint of spice/peppery, light warmth in shoulders
4. Color lightened here as well. Flatly sweet taste. Decided to simmer the rest for 5 min.
simmered mug was decent, drinkable enough. Not a huge fan of this one, since I prefer the woody profiles to the beet heavy ones
