Guangxi Liu Bao Thee, Donkere Thee (Hei Cha) in Mand 500g

Me encantó este Liu Bao. me encanta tomarlo en estos días de invierno, e ideal antes de una meditación.

The tea actually comes in a basket in a paper bag. It has earthy aroma with texture. It allows for 3 infusions if you do European style brewing which is very good. This way you actually get 3 different versions of the same tea and they are all a very good experience. It keeps a comparatively dark color after each infusion and has fine layers of taste. If you do gongfu style brewing, you have to be mindful of the amount of tea you put in the gaiwan and watch the color. Since it is loose tea, It gets very dark very quickly, as it is a very dark tea, indeed. I would call it a very luxurious tea to start a day with.

Yes, the description of this tea may seem strange. But it's definitely worth your attention. Three people who tried it asked to brew it again. I wanted to order another basket today, but it was out of stock. If you like shu pu-erh, this tea will definitely find a place in your tea cupboard. If you like the smell of a potato cellar somewhere in your grandmother's village, then you will like this tea.

El Liu Bao es un hei cha muy interesante de aroma contenido, mi intención al comprar esta cesta es dejarlo envejecer un tiempo e ir viendo las diferentes notas de sabor que va dando en el proceso.

Brewing: 7g/100ml, 100°C, flash rinse, 10s x 3, +5s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell of old wood and earth - like a dry forest floor. When wet, it's the same forest floor after rain, with some spices on top.

The liquor is very woody and a bit spicy. It's a smooth, clear and comforting taste - the kind that predisposes to philosophical musings, literature or just digesting a good meal.
