This is a Liubao tea commissioned and stored by a well-known Malaysian collector, traditionally processed from more than 20 year old large leaf (Daye) raw material. Done in the style of old Bao Lan Liubao, it was pressed into 40KG baskets and traditionally stored in Malaysia. This is what one might call “sheng” Liubao, as opposed to the wet-piled Liubao that has become more common on the market in recent years.
60g sealed in a foil bag.
5.4g, 90ml. boiling, Brita tap.
dry: damp, sweet. wet leaf: salty, grainy rice. shou-like, but maybe a woody incense note.
1st: nothing particular.
2nd: slight medicinal note. calming, cozy, almost sinking feeling. no clear notes after.
A tea that brews and brews, but was clearly not impressive for taste. no clear progression in taste, just lightening after some time, and cozy still. The first time in a while I’ve really felt caffeinated by a tea too, interestingly enough. Also, marco’s notes indicate a lot more sweetness and aftertaste than I got, but it’s probably a water thing.
