Tea Master's Aged Liu Bao

Depth and tradition come together in this limited-harvest Liu Bao Dark Tea.

Produced in Guangxi, China, and aged under controlled humidity, each leaf develops the signature smoothness, mineral depth, and clean earthiness that make this tea timeless.

Offered exclusively through our preorder campaign.

Backers help fund this season’s sourcing and packaging run — all orders are submitted to the Tea Master once sales close and shipped immediately to your doorstep.

Liu Bao has been crafted in Guangxi Province for over a thousand years and is considered the origin of post-fermented teas like Pu’er. Once valued as a restorative drink for travelers and workers, it’s now cherished for its rich, mellow body and natural grounding effect.

Our 2025 batch comes directly from a family workshop known for producing clean, well-balanced dark teas - smooth, never musty - the mark of careful aging and honest craft.
