I received many Liu Bao samples from Malaysia last year and this one I find really enjoyable.

It was made by CNNP China Tea (Wuzhou) co. Ltd. – one of the biggest and most famous producers of Liu Bao. This cake represents “medium fermentation style” Liu Bao – it means the initial fermentation was moderate.

After 10 years of Malaysian storage, this basic and earthy casual Liu Bao turned into really nice sweet and balanced tea with only pinch of spiciness and little bit of smoke.

Taste profile: wet forest floor, campfire, honey, decaying flowers, betel nuts.

Good quality material (3rd grade) with smooth fermentation and at least 10 years of Malaysian storage is the key to understand that amazing 400g brick.

All the bricks we broke have “golden flower” / Jin Hua mushroom inside what is really rare in Liu Bao! This kind of fungus is rather more popular in Anhua Heicha. We hope you will find it in your piece too!

Description

Origin: Wuzhou (China Tea) Tea Factory, Guangxi, China
Harvest: 2011

Pressing: 2014

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 7-8g/100ml.

Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, rinse the tea for 20s seconds using boiling water and afterwards pour out all the water from your pot. The process of rinsing tea leaves is often defined as a waking the tea and is very important for quality of next brewings. Main aim of waking the tea is to remove caffeine and eventual pollution from old tea aged for many years. First drinkable infusion should be very short- not more than 10 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing.

Good for casual brewing in bigger teapots.
