Taste: This tea is very intense (strong cha chi), a very short steeping is recommended. The unique phenols in this Liu Bao perhaps gives it the well appreciated and unique taste profile that many people describe as sour cereal or woody herbal taste, classically though it is described as having a “betel nut” aroma/flavour. This unique flavour profile is like a black sheep among other teas. It is not everyone’s cup of tea but if you fall into it , you will appreciate the unique experience it offers.
