Liu Bao - As Good as Gold
Liu Bao tea is a unique fermented tea originating from the Liu Bao village in Guangxi province, China. Known for its rich, earthy flavor and dark color, this tea is made from large-leafed tea varieties and undergoes a post-fermentation process, similar to that of Pu-erh tea. Liu Bao tea is often aged, which enhances its taste and aroma, making it a sought-after choice among tea enthusiasts. It is traditionally enjoyed for its smoothness and potential health benefits, including digestive support and antioxidant properties.
A Story of Tin & Tea
In Malaysia, Liu Bao tea gained popularity among tin miners, particularly during the tin mining boom in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many Chinese immigrants who worked in the tin mines brought this tea with them, finding it to be a comforting and energizing beverage during long working hours. The tea became a staple in the miners' daily routines, often enjoyed during breaks and social gatherings. Over time, Liu Bao tea not only became a symbol of camaraderie among the miners but also integrated into the broader Malaysian tea culture, celebrated for its rich heritage and robust flavor.
