While 2002 might seem young compared to its older counterpart, this tea still exhibits many of the qualities that make aged Liu Bao desirable. The soup has smooth texture in the mouth, while the fragrance is medicinal, without being overpowering.

A cooling, minty sensation is also prominent, along with a pleasant huigan. This tea has a very clean flavour, free of any noticeable storage scent. There is also slight exotic-wood note on the back as well, which stands out from the usual camphor note that is present in aged heicha/puer.

Gongfu!

Continuing tasting through my recent BLT order with a session of their 2002 “Potion” Liu Bao! It’s weird to me to think that a heicha from 2002 already has twenty years of age on it; that number just doesn’t feel real. However, steeped up this tea definitely has the smooth, clean taste but deeply intense body to match its maturity. On top of the expected cooling sensation of camphor, this Liu Bao is delightfully medicinal with rich notes of cassia and clove, wet wood and forest undergrowth, and incense. I really found this to be a super grounding session, and definitely a stand out heicha which makes me even more excited to taste through the other two samples I picked up!

Oof, literally just clicked “complete purchase” at Bitterleaf… wish I’d seen this prior! Sounds divine.
