Liu Bao Dark – Wholesale Traditional Guangxi Dark Tea

Liu Bao Dark is a traditional aged dark tea (六堡茶) from Wuzhou City in Guangxi Province, China. It has a deep, woodsy aroma and a moss-like character that comes from a fermentation process similar to that of traditional ripe pu-erh from Yunnan. Enjoyed for centuries and treasured by dark tea drinkers for its smooth, grounding depth, it is a strong specialty addition for tea shops and tea bars.

Liu Bao is traditionally described as "red, strong, aged and mellow, " and this tea lives up to that description. The leaves are thin, tight and black-brown, with an aroma that recalls a damp, mossy pile of autumn leaves. Infused, the deep reddish-brown liquor opens with woodsy notes, moves into bark and moss, and finishes with autumn leaves and roasted buckwheat, smooth and lingering. It is smooth and surprisingly fresh, with an aftertaste that encourages another cup. For ripe pu-erh fans, it offers a new angle on fermented tea with its own woodsy, mossy identity. Like other dark teas, it is traditionally enjoyed after meals as a warming digestif, and it also works as a coffee alternative in the morning.
