Aesthetic Philosophy

The Iconic Blue Heritage

Made for refined daily home brewing and modest collection, this premium edition honors the iconic export boom of the 1960s–70s. The signature blue metal tin has remained a cherished symbol among generations of tea drinkers across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. Rooted in authentic Chinese tea culture tied to intangible heritage craftsmanship, it turns your everyday tea ritual into a warm nostalgic experience.

BRAND HERITAGE

China Tea (Wuzhou) & Classic Old-Eight Blue Tin

Based in Wuzhou, China Tea (Wuzhou) Co., Ltd. preserves authentic traditional Liu Pao production techniques. Its renowned Old-Eight lineup was developed in the 1960s–70s for booming global tea trade.
As the first release of the series, this blue metal tin first brought small-pack Liu Pao to overseas markets before red and purple tin variants.
The brand reissued this vintage formula faithfully in 2025 to restore its original historic export taste.

Origin & History

From the Misty Mountains of Cangwu

Originating from the steep, mist-veiled peaks of Cangwu County in Guangxi, China, Liu Bao tea has been meticulously produced since the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, it earned an elite reputation for its distinctive “red, thick, aged, and mellow” character. Tracing the historic paths of cultural exchange along the ancient Tea Boat Road (茶船古道), these hand-picked leaves bridge centuries of heritage with contemporary mindful living.

Flavor Profile & Versatility

Velvety Boldness & Betel Nut Resonance

Every infusion delivers a bold yet perfectly balanced cup, yielding a clear, luminous amber-red liquor. Crafted using traditional master fermentation, it boasts a comforting, woody depth with a signature betel nut aroma (槟榔香) and a remarkably clean, lingering sweet aftertaste. This versatile profile adapts seamlessly across lifestyles—whether brewed slowly as a meticulous Traditional Gongfu Leaf ritual or steeped effortlessly alongside western Floral Teas, guaranteeing zero residual bitterness and a pure, comforting finish.

Wellness Ritual

A Time-Honored Tonic for Modern Life

Long cherished as a comforting daily elixir by busy professionals and modern families alike, aged Liu Bao is deeply celebrated for its traditional wellness benefits. Revered across Southeast Asia for its gentle warming properties, it is the perfect post-meal companion to aid digestion, relieve inner heat, dispel dampness, and restore a grounded sense of alignment after a demanding day.

Rational Protection

Iconic Blue Metal Tin: Built to Preserve & Age Your Tea

Please note this heritage edition is intended for everyday drinking and casual collection. The sturdy classic blue tin serves as dense metallic protective armor for your Liu Pao. It locks out humidity, light and unwanted external smells to build a steady inner environment, helping the tea age gracefully and improve its taste as years pass.
