Aroma/Color/Taste: This is from a 1,000 year old wild tea tree and thereby proudly carries the name “ancient”. A gift from the tea gods. It is referred to as red tea in China, but better known as a black tea in the U.S.

The fragrance alone will waken your senses and delight your soul. This red tea from Liupao has an amazing fruity fragrance and fruity sweet taste that is smooth, rich and lingering. A very clean taste from such an old tree. With each infusion the tea liquor will deepen and change color. It is a post fermented tea and only the first one or two buds are used. The Qi from this tea is astounding. So healthy. This tea can be held and aged like a fine wine.

Location: High in the mountains amongst the streams where the sunshine is short with year round mist and fertile soil. Liubao Village, Wuzhou City, Guangxi Province in southern China.

Made by: Tea Master and owner, Su Shumei.
