Liu Bao Cha 6166 by Zhong Cha

 

Dark tea (hei cha) by Zhong Cha company. Gift box: wicker basket, weight: 250 grams, year of production: 2021.

 

In the Chinese blogosphere, this tea by Zhong Cha recived with pretty warm feedbacks, including thanks to the extraordinary packaging, which is good both in a case you bought it to present to someone as a gift, and in a case if you ordered it to enjoy by yourself (the package is beautiful and convenient to store the tea). In addition, quite a lot of kinds of Liu Bao are sold at a higher price, while the 6166 is still quite affordable

 

The appearance resembles aged loose Gongting Shu Puer tea, which is quite understandable - after all, during the research and development of the production of shu puer, the manufacturing technology of Liu Bao Cha was taken as a basis, among other things!

 

In taste, it resembles shu puer with its viscous woody note, as well as black tea (hong cha) with a fruity hue and a sweetish aftertaste.
