This Liu Bao is a true veteran of time—rich, dark, and deeply grounding. With at least four decades behind it, this tea has spent the last 20 years in the careful care of its current owner in Ipoh, Malaysia, and the two decades before that with a previous collector in the same region. Beyond that, its history is a mystery, adding to its quiet allure.
Ipoh’s famously humid climate has shaped this tea beautifully—yielding a deep, smooth liquor with earthy notes of aged wood, old parchment, and forest floor after rain. The storage has softened every edge, leaving a brew that’s mellow, meditative, and full of soul.
This isn’t just aged tea—it’s a time capsule, steeped in decades of tropical air and human care. Ideal for seasoned drinkers and collectors alike.
