I exhibited at Cascadia Tea Festival this past weekend, my first time selling my teas in person. It went well, and I learned a lot. Three Bears Tea is ready for its next in-person event!

www.threebearstea.com is my site. I sell liu bao, oolong, pu'er and tea ware.

um chá diferente: liu bao, prensado à mão, primavera de 2010, CraftedLeaf.
normalmente, as pessoas comparam o liu bao com o pu'erh (por causa do sabor poeirento do sótão), mas eu penso que este chá é diferente. o sabor lembra o sabor do uísque escocês, de Islay (acho que, Laphroaig), sem álcool, mas com notas fortes de turfa, remédio e folhas amarelas de outono. obrigado @gemelen pela recomendação ❤️

"Mean Wife" - aged Guang Xi giant leaf frost-beaten #LiuBao [Winter 01, CLT].

This is quite unusual tea by all means - it's a post-fermented, but leaves are almost intact; while being compressed into a brick, few chunks I've got were of a thin leaves sheets; and finally, its taste - reminiscent of an aged white, but almost without fruitiness.

Right thing to say - "the taste of an autum". Kinda of a medicinal herbal beverage, but quite light, not bitter.

In general, one won't distinct yellow from green by look, in my opinion.

As for #LiuBao - it doesn't look fermented from the photo (again, all what we have :))

The thing it's not aromatic - could happen if it's a non-oloong varietal processed as oolong, for example. It could be lead, eg an oolong from India.

If possible, please share spent leaves photo :)

A non descript aged Liu Bao type of day. My everyday comfort tea. Relaxing, calming and warm tea session ahead.

Hei Shan "Old Tree Raw" #LiuBao [Harvest '08, ?, YS]

First infusion kinda non-descriptive, from the second I could feel cooling sensation in my body.
I'm not good in describing tastes at all, for many reasons, so bear with me for what I could formulate.

Also, this session goes with only 4gr/100ml in a silver, which usually "tunnels" rather than changes tea taste.

@ellestad @tea
I see your aged #Hongcha and I answer with '08 #LiuBao (kinda, it's closer to raw puerh by preparation) to raise the stakes (a bit)

Outside of kink, I'm into #tea, specifically #pu'er #liubao and #oolong; #reading; #weightlifting; #growingmushrooms; #gardening; #cooking (#pescatarian, baking bread, and I make my own #edibles); #dragrace; #exoticcocktails; #rum and #brandy. I'm passionate about environmental and social justice issues. And I'd love a #hiking or #biking buddy!
