This is a raw (not wet piled) Liu Bao tea aged for more than 20 years already! It’s ultra clean tasting and steeps 10+ times while keep flavor. It’s not a graded Liu Bao, meaning it was picked with leaf and buds together and was never separated into different leaf grades. This means you get the tea in the form that has the most depth and completeness with this tea!
Taste is strong but not overpowering, with notes of tropical hardwood, betel nut, osmanthus, and incense. There is not even a little bit of mustiness at all! There is very long lasting mouth feel with this tea and the cha qi strong!
If you are looking for a clean aged Liu Bao or just want to try an excellent 20+ years aged tea then this will surely be a worthwhile choice!
