This 2008 Gui Wei 桂味 Liubao Tea is meticulously crafted from high-mountain spring-harvested fresh leaves from its original terroir. The tender raw materials are rich in intrinsic substances, particularly a high content of amino acids, laying an excellent foundation for their later transformation. After more than a decade of natural aging in dry-warehouse conditions, the dry tea leaves are tightly-knotted and clean, devoid of any undesirable odors, fully showcasing the beauty of dry-warehouse storage.
Upon brewing, the tea liquor is red, dense, and bright. It immediately reveals the unique charm of aged Liubao tea: intertwined aromas of beans, nuts, and milk emerge, pure and natural, captivating without affectation. When simmered, it reveals a more delicate "rice soup" texture, thick, smooth, and glutinous. The tea liquor boasts rich layers and a long-lasting aftertaste, making it a rare and valuable addition to any Liubao tea enthusiast's collection for both appreciation and drinking.
Whether for daily tea enjoyment or for sharing with friends, this 2008 Gui Wei Liubao Tea promises an aromatic journey through time.
