Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.

This is a nice 2015 harvested and piled tea that was blended and packaged in 2018. It's a blend of lightly wet pile and heavier piled grade 2 leaves. The contrast of the two differently processed leaves both with the advantage of already being semi-aged makes this a balanced and pleasurable Liu Bao! The taste is complex with some tastes of mushroomy ripe pu-erh with some bittersweet dark chocolate notes and sweet after-taste. This countered with the betel nut earthiness of the darker traditional Liu Bao gives this tea a complexity that is rarely found in the more traditional Liu Bao teas. Aging will bring out some interesting and satisfying results. 1 kilogram of tea per basket Region: Wuzhou in Guangxi Producer: Three Cranes / Wuzhou Tea Factory 2015 Harvested and Fermented, Packaged into baskets in 2018 ** If you order the whole basket we will pack well to protect the basket but cannot guarantee it won't be damaged during transit.
