2018 Three Cranes "2506" Liu Bao Tea in Basket

This is a nice 2015 harvested and piled tea that was blended and packaged in 2018.  It's a blend of lightly wet pile and heavier piled grade 2 leaves.  The contrast of the two differently processed leaves both with the advantage of already being semi-aged makes this a balanced and pleasurable Liu Bao!

The taste is complex with some tastes of mushroomy ripe pu-erh with some bittersweet dark chocolate notes and sweet after-taste.  This countered with the betel nut earthiness of the darker traditional Liu Bao gives this tea a complexity that is rarely found in the more traditional Liu Bao teas.  Aging will bring out some interesting and satisfying results.
