Liu Bao

Wuzhou

China · Guangxi · Wuzhou

Quick summary: Slow and close to the ground. The cup brings wood, earth and mint, and the warmth stays with you in a calm, settled way.

Best for: Good after food, in rain, or on a day that needs grounding.

Liu Bao has the slow, grounded presence of a humid wooden house. The liquor carries humid wood, old sweetness, and camphor, and the body is dark and steady. In teas like this, depth matters more than brightness: the leaf speaks through earth, sweetness, warmth, and the feeling it leaves behind the sternum. With repeated infusions the rough edges soften and the inner structure becomes clearer. It is a tea for patience, steadiness, and rooms where conversation can fall away without discomfort.
