The Bang Wei Chronicle from Xin An Chu is a great experience if you want to taste the effect of time on puerh tea. The 2008 and 2011 versions of this tea are similar, but time has changed these teas into a completely different experience.
The Silent Hymn Liu Bao from Leaves With Hugs is a warming liu bao with a refreshing twist. Warming camphor with notes of ginseng and beets.
The 2011 Bada Gushu Sheng is a gentle and pleasant tea. It’s bittersweet with hints of red fruits and a tiny bit of incense towards the finish.
The 2011 4 Gold Coins Liu Bao from Lao Tea Shop is another great tea. It has everything I look for in a good Liu Bao: cream and camphor.
The 2011 LTC Yong De Da Ye from Vin-Satori is a tea that goes the distance. It’s like taking a walk through a dense forest in late autumn.
The 2011 Zhong Cha Worker’s Special Grade Liu Bao from Lao Tea Shop is an excellent everyday Liu Bao. It has a camphor flavour profile with notes of wood.
Terre de Ciel’s 2011 Kunlu Shan has smokey and incense notes to it, but you can also feel some traces of a sweet fruitiness.
