From the same decade that spawned the A-Team, Madonna and slap bracelets, this Liu Bao has managed to outlast 2 of out 3 of them. Aged somewhere in the area of 40 years – approximations of a decade are normal for Liu Bao – this tea offers a exceptionally thick texture and creamy quality.
Time has also softened this tea significantly, leaving any bitterness in the past. There is a light, but not overpowering medicinal fragrance, along with cacao notes. Overall, the fragrance is woven in seamlessly, supporting the smooth texture, rather taking over. This tea has been stored in Guangxi its entire lifetime, undergoing a proper “waking up” period that has left it clear of any storage scent.
This tea is also not shy in terms of energy/chaqi. While this can affect everyone a bit differently, we found it quite noticeable, especially on an empty stomach. With that said, even in more intense moments it remained pleasant. This tea is a treat for those who have the time to take it in fully.

Started my morning with one of the best heicha tea sessions I’ve had in a very, very long time. It’s so thick and rich in cooling menthol and camphor notes, with a punch of medicinal and forest-y flavour, and really tingly, mouth numbing spice undertones of clove, cassia oil, and black cardamom alongside bittersweet dark chocolate. Despite all of that, the mouthfeel is really creamy. It’s just so flavourful but with such a visceral mouth sensation and body feel. I don’t know if I’ve been this glowy and tea drunk feeling in a while…
