It offers a sensory journey that affects not just the palate and body, but also the mood. This is not a beginner’s tea; it’s for seasoned tea connoisseurs, especially those well-versed in aged Liu Bao.One of Fang Shun’s finest aged tea offerings—arguably a “ceiling-level” masterpiece. Crafted in the 1980s, it has undergone nearly four decades of natural aging. A true collector’s gem and a must-have for serious tea drinkers. This tea has fully developed its signature ginseng aroma—a hallmark of perfectly aged Liu Bao.Drinking it feels like appreciating a rare Guqin—quiet, profound, and not for everyone, yet those who understand it are deeply moved.Tasting Notes Upon brewing, elegant ginseng, medicinal, woody, and honeyed aromas emerge. By the third infusion, the tea enters its prime. The liquor is clear, reddish, and luminous. Unlike modern ripe teas that tend to be thick and bold, this one melts in the mouth with a refined delicacy.Early Steeps: Prominent ginseng and herbal aromas with a mellow, honeyed sweetness developed through time.Middle Steeps: Herbal and orchid-like floral notes surface, the soup remains delicate yet full, with a distinct honeyed finish.Later Steeps: The return of ginseng, joined by deep woodiness and a rock sugar sweetness that lingers long after.Though over 40 years old, the tea remains clean and vibrant—free from stale notes. It has that transformative charm of a well-aged tea, yet it’s alive, like a sun-drenched forest after rain: fresh, invigorating, and peaceful.Body Sensation After swallowing, the mouth salivates, the tongue tingles with freshness, and a subtle fragrance lingers. It’s soft, aged, mellow, sweet, clean, and elegant. Most drinkers note a unique relaxation in the chest, warmth in the limbs, a comfortable stomach, and a clear-headed calm. A gentle, heartwarming tea experience—drinking such tea is a joy, and finding it is a blessing.Appearance & Storage The leaves are reddish-brown, light in weight and dry to the touch. This is a mixed-grade tea with both stems and leaves, offering excellent value without compromising on character. In this kind of aged tea, it’s no longer about appearance—it’s about charm, tea energy, relaxation, and the gentle power of time.Made using the traditional single-steam method, this tea skips wet piling fermentation, thus preserving its vitality and clarity.The liquor is a vibrant red, light yet richly aromatic, with layers that unfold slowly. It evokes a common sentiment: “Old tea is truly something else.” There’s a refinement and sweetness, a tenderness without bitterness, a warmth and vitality only decades of aging can bestow.The spent leaves are oily, elastic, and glossy—signs of excellent aging.Packaging Options 30g Sampler: Packed in a round aluminum tin, ideal for those wanting to explore and understand the tea.80g Premium Pack: Housed in a ceramic jar to best preserve the aroma and quality of this extraordinary aged tea.Note on Packaging Over the years, our tea tins have been loved by many, and we’ve often been asked to sell them separately.
