Product Details
This exceptional Liubao tea, produced in Guangxi's Wuzhou region in 2008, has been carefully aged for over 17 years to achieve its profound depth and distinctive character. Made entirely from tender golden buds and refined through traditional pile-fermentation and extended aging, this tea embodies the unique "apricot kernel aroma" (Xing Ren Xiang) that is highly prized among dark tea connoisseurs.
The dry leaves display a rich chestnut-brown color with visible golden tips, a testament to its premium raw material. After aging, the tea brews into a deep, ruby-red liquor offering a smooth and thick texture. Its aroma is complex and inviting—blending notes of dried apricot, aged wood, Chinese herbs, and a subtle sweet spice. The taste is mellow and earthy with a lingering sweetness and a distinctive almond-like aftertaste that defines this classic Liubao tea variety.
