Slight bitterness might appear at the beginning ( especially in strong infusions ) but leaving a sweet impression in mouth right after few cups. Decent daily...

      Produced and stored in Lhasa ( Tibet ) iron hard pressed tea brick in chocolate pattern. You will need to have a good puer pick and be very careful to not harm yourself when chipping off this 248g Hei Cha brick. Gentle smokiness would emerge from gaiwan in first steeping but not noticeable in tea itself. Slight honey and caramel-woody notes are dominated...

      Similar to 2013 .Drying Chinese cabbage on wooden bench in small minority village with wild honey notes would be a sort of description of the scent coming out from your pot with first infusion. Although doesn't sound attractive but must say overall fragrance has a sweet base and so it is the taste.The most important part is the Lotus leafs which are...

      The larvae eating tea leafs and leaving the droppings behind which are heat processed. The scent old basement Liubao notes in taste are much softer then a in actual leaves and so the sweetness.

      Not much story to be told about this Libuao , a is it a very good daily drinker for rainy days. Significant aroma of old grannie basement in combination of laundry room wet base in taste. All that is amplified when hot water is introduced to the leaves and of course same notes you will experience in taste. Sweet mouthfeel with slight touch of bitterness...

      Naturally stick together tea leaves of liu bao cha by it's weight when ageing in big bamboo baskets . The pellets "cha tou" releasing tea soup slower than some loose leaf so it lasts more infusions . Light touch of Betel nut can appear in certain steps traditionally combined with wet basement aroma and taste. Despite of relatively young age for Liu bao is...

      Pressed and slowly naturally aged dark tea in the woven bamboo basket. Small top tea leaves release gently bittersweet taste with a typical for Hei Cha sour touch of microbial fermentation folowed by sweet aftertaste. The weight 500g is including the bamboo basket. Sample is difficult to dig out from the basket so please expect some broken bits and leaves.

      An Hua Hei Cha , originally from Hu Nan province, pressed into the woven bamboo basket in which was ageing 12 years at producers storage.  The wet storage is significant but not disturbing and well balanced with smoky notes in overall taste. After few cups the smokiness is less noticeable and rather sweet aftertaste will appear. The weight is 1kg...

      Traditional concept of Liu Bao tea without post-fermentation process before stuffing into the bamboo basket for further ageing in the basement storage. High grade ( no big stems and old levaes ) spring harvest tea leave had gone through the longer withering time before the fixation ( kill green ) promoting the fruity notes which are very noticable in...
