Key Features 20-Year Aged Treasure – Meticulously crafted in 2003 from premium old-tree Cassia seed leaves, fermented using traditional light fermentation and aged in bamboo baskets. Authentic “Cellar-Aged” Character – Stored in mountain warehouses with optimal humidity, developing a distinctive ginseng-medicinal aroma with hints of orchid and aged wood. Unparalleled Smoothness – Thick, velvety liquor with a lingering sweet aftertaste and refreshing coolness—rare in aged teas. Strong Tea Energy (茶气) – Promotes warmth and gentle perspiration, ideal for meditation or cold weather.Tasting Notes Dry Fermented Leaf: Gray-brown with natural “frost” coating (sign of authentic aging). Aroma: Bright ginseng dominates, layered with aged wood, herbal notes, and a subtle cellar-aged richness. Flavor: Silky and sweet like ginseng-infused rice porridge, with a clean, vibrant finish. Body: Dense yet lively—unlike many heavy aged teas that feel dull or flat.Brewing Guide Gongfu Style: Use boiling water in a clay teapot (5g/100ml) for maximum aroma. Thermos Steeping: 3g/500ml, steep 1 hours for a thick, medicinal-sweet broth. Charcoal Boiling: Intensifies the ginseng sweetness and qi sensation.Packaging Options | Size | Format | Notes | | 80g | Iron Tin | Best for sampling | | 300g | Ceramic Jar | Enhances aroma preservation | | 500g/1000g| Large Ceramic Jar | For collectors & long-term aging |Note: Ceramic jars feature unique kiln variations (glaze cracks/speckles)—each one distinct!Why This Fermented Tea Stands Out “Crane’s Flavor” (鹤味): A nostalgic profile reminiscent of 1980s–90s premium Liubao, now rare in modern productions. Traditional “Cellar-Aging” (窖藏): A signature Liubao technique that softens bitterness and deepens complexity. Balanced Aging: Neither too dry nor musty—just pure, well-rounded aged character.Ideal For: Aged fermented tea collectors seeking traditional Liubao depth. Ginseng/herbal fermented tea lovers who enjoy medicinal sweetness. Qi-sensitive drinkers wanting warming, energizing effects.Not recommended for light fermented tea drinkers—its bold aged profile may overwhelm.Limited Availability Stock is dwindling—only 80g tins may remain soon.
