2000 Liu Bao Cha

Rare authentic tea from the main mother cliff with a truly exemplary leaf. A great gift for connoisseurs - a true 'King of Teas'. Processed according to traditional methods completely by hand, dried in a charcoal oven. Dry leaves are relatively small, the same size, greenish-black in color, the surface is shiny like charcoal. The infusion is clear, bright dark orange. The aroma of the drink is enchanting and its pervasiveness makes you feel as if you have already tasted the first cup. The taste is very deep and sweet. After several infusions, the tea leaves become larger, greener in colour, richly fluffy and silky to the touch. There are small but quite visible bumps on the leaves (as with most original yancha). After the fifth-sixth infusion, fruity and light orchid tones appear in the taste and aroma. The aftertaste is long, honey-floral.

Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe), one of the best rock teas  (yancha) directly from the cradle of all oolongs, the Wu Yi Shan mountains. On the numerous rocky cliffs of this area grow teas, which, thanks to the local climate and stony soil, acquire special features, which are later deepened by traditional processing. Due to its unique properties and taste, Da Hong Pao is often called the 'King of Teas'. The color of the leaves is dark brown, often with a coal sheen. The taste is initially very strongly roasted, but then balanced, the aroma is distinct, but still delicate and pleasant. The aftertaste is long and sweet.
