Made from high mountain spring material, this 2013 Liubao uses modern cold-water pile fermentation with light fermentation levels. The result is a tea with notable minerality, common of “rock teas”, alongside clean camphor and cocoa notes. The lightly fermented processing preserves a fresh sweetness and creates salivating effect uncommon in Liu Bao at this age. The mineral quality brings a clean elegance, with floral and herbal notes emerging mid-palate. Good body and durability through multiple infusions. A high performing tea for the price, with quality material, light fermentation, and time working together to create dynamic experience. $0.21-0.28/gram
