This is a classic style "light piled" Liu Bao tea from Three Cranes Tea Factory in Wuzhou. The tea was pressed into a 2 kilogram brick from loose leaf Liu Bao that was aged for 2 years before pressing. The 1815 blend is a unique blend that was first introduced in the late 1980's. This brick has portions of the brick which contain golden flowers. If you get a quantity less than a whole brick there may or may not be golden flowers present.

This brick brews smooth and thick, earthy and sweet, with a touch of betel nut, and an almost semi-aged sheng pu-erh tea mouthfeel to it!

Aged for 2 years in loose leaf form before being blended and pressed into a brick in 2020.

2 Kilograms per brick

Pressed by The Three Cranes Tea Factory of Wuzhou (Guangxi)

Pressed in 2020 from 2018 harvested material

Another Three Cranes Hit

"This one took me 3 tastings to really wrap my mind around all of the nuances. Take your time to get to know this delightful tea. The woodsy nots are especially fun."

dagoodwin63 (5/5)

Very much like a pu erh. Earthy and wooded

"This liu bao is good, but to me is indistinguishable from several pu erhs I've had. It has lost the fruity sweetness that I've really loved in other liu baos. It's definitely worth trying, but it isn't a tea I feel I need to keep in stock."

"I always link great ideas to weeks when I brewed liubao grandpa style. 35035 was closer to qian liang and this one to hei zhuan. It is halfway between superior grade and border varieties dated back to when trade war forced small producers to resort to Vietnam source leaves. Aging cannot be compared to loose baskets. As well, I found since pandemic made people hide and nature take its territory back, everything tastes better from 2020 including cider."
