ZhongCha Liubao Tea (中茶茗珠1800) Pearl 1800

Origination:

Crafted from carefully selected superior-grade raw materials, zhongcha mingzhu 1800 liubao dark tea features dry tea leaves with tight, uniform strips, visible silver buds, and a deep, glossy dark brown hue. When brewed after waking, the liquor presents
a bright red, crystal-clear color, releasing a prominent floral-honey aroma. The first three infusions offer a thick, sweet, and full-bodied taste with a soft, lingering tea rhyme, ideal for those seeking depth in their daily tea experience.

We source this from zhongcha company. 

Brewing Recommendations

• Tea Amount & Vessel: Use 5-7g of tea (break small pieces from the brick, avoid crushing) with a Yixing clay teapot or Gaiwan (100-150ml) — these vessels retain heat well to draw out the areca nut and aged notes.
• Water & Temperature: Use filtered or spring water; bring to full boil (100℃) (high temperature unlocks the deep, mellow flavor of aged wild Liubao without bitterness).
• Steeping Time:
  • First 2 washes: 5-10s (awaken the tea, discard water).
  • 1st-3rd infusions: 15-20s (light to medium strength, highlight areca nut sweetness).
  • 4th-8th infusions: Extend by 5-10s each time (flavor remains rich; earthy and sweet layers deepen).
  • It can be steeped 8-12 times — wild tea leaves hold flavor well due to their dense texture.
