The physician prescribed Liu An Tea in place of medicine, and many recovered without additional treatment. Because of its reputed effects in relieving heat, detoxifying, and calming the mind, Liu An Tea gained great fame. By the early 20th century, An Tea was sold throughout Guangdong and Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macau, and Southeast Asia, and was highly esteemed by the local elite and wealthy merchants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTea:\u003c\/b\u003e Premium 1996 Liu An Basket Aged Tea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan id=\"product_description\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"product_description\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight Per Basket: \u003c\/b\u003e400 grams \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e An Hui Province\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTypes: \u003c\/b\u003ePost-fermented \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest Period:\u003c\/b\u003e 1996\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Chinese Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"10 grams (0.35 oz)","offer_id":30184661844047,"sku":"LA-96-001-0001","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams (3.5 oz)","offer_id":30184661876815,"sku":"LA-96-001-0002","price":135.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 grams (7.1 oz)","offer_id":30184661909583,"sku":"LA-96-001-0003","price":247.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 grams (0.9 oz)","offer_id":30184661942351,"sku":"LA-96-001-0004","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 grams (1.7 oz)","offer_id":30184661975119,"sku":"LA-96-001-0005","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Basket 400 grams (14 oz)","offer_id":30184662007887,"sku":"LA-96-001-0006","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1167\/2399\/files\/MaRou-67.jpg?v=1742010262"},{"product_id":"vintage-guangxi-liu-bao-loose-leaf-tea-1992-black-shou","title":"Guangxi Liu Bao Loose Leaf Tea  1992 (Ripe\/Shou)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2011, I rediscovered this Liu Bao tea in my warehouse, where it had been aging since I bought it from China in 2001.

Its history dates back 1500 years, gaining prominence in the 18th century as one of the top 24 famous Chinese teas. Traditionally, it's been marketed primarily to Guangdong Province, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asian countries for both daily consumption and medicinal purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a post-fermented tea, Liu Bao is classified as \"hei tea\" in China and is known to improve in taste and value with age. A pivotal moment came around 1956 when the Wuzhou Tea Factory advanced the cold-water wet piling process, making it a benchmark for modern fermentation techniques. By 1958, this process was already enhancing Liu Bao tea, a significant 16 years before its application in Pu_erh tea production, earning Liu Bao the title \"Father of Shou Pu-erh Tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTea cellar and wooden dry warehouse play a crucial role in developing the traditionally flavor and taste. After completing the wet-piling process, Liu Bao tea is aged in cellar beneath the mountain, providing optimal conditions for microbial activity that enhances the tea. Five months later, the tea is transferred to wooden warehouse made of pine and fir, where it continues to age. The interaction between the tea and the wood infuses the tea with a woody or medicinal fragrance. This two-stage aging process in cellar and wooden warehouse is crucial for developing Liu Bao tea's distinctive \"betel nut aroma\" over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Flower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"403\" data-start=\"119\"\u003eGolden Flower refers to a beneficial fungus, primarily \u003cem data-end=\"194\" data-start=\"174\"\u003eEurotium cristatum\u003c\/em\u003e (golden mycelium), which commonly appears in certain post-fermented dark teas, most famously in Fuzhuan tea.

The old or Lao Ban Zhang village is located apart from the new or Xing Ban Zhang village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing are some general statistics of the Lao Ban Zhang village and its surrounding region:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 145 families in the Lao Ban Zhang village; \u003cbr\u003e The village resides at an altitude of 1,700 to 1,900 meters; \u003cbr\u003e Average temperature of 18.7 oC; \u003cbr\u003e Average 2,088 hours of sun light per year; \u003cbr\u003e Average rain fall between 1,341 to 1,540 mm;\u003cbr\u003e At this high altitude, the village often experience thick fogginess with average annual foggy days between 107.5 to 160.2 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 4,700 acres of land growing the arbour tree with merely 50 tons of average annual raw tea leaves (green Maocha) production. The original area where Lao Ban Zhang is produced is well preserved with diverse vegetation and culture. The soil is fertile and the area gets abundant sunshine, thick fogs, high humidity, all are optimum conditions for growing ancient trees. Farmers in the Lao Ban Zhang village still use the traditional method to harvest and preserve the ancient tea trees. The leaves are hand picked and no fertilizers and pesticides are used. The leaves are dried under natural sunlight to kill green and are pollution free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to 2007 statistics compiled by villagers, the number of existing tea trees in the Lao Ban Zhang village includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than one hundred years old: 78,555\u003cbr\u003e More than two hundred years old: 70,886\u003cbr\u003e More than five hundred years old: 37,076\u003cbr\u003e More than eight hundred years old: 9,412\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to Lao Ban Zhang pu-erhs exceptional stimulating taste and its small raw tea leave production quantity each year, the price of this tea has escalated each year since 2004. Also during this time, more tea collectors would visit the village to purchase the raw leaves. The raw tea leave was selling for 800 Yuan\/kg in 2006 and the price almost doubled to 1,300 Yuan\/kg in 2007. It takes 3.6 kg of fresh raw leaves to produce 1 kg of dry tea product. In 2011, Lao Ban Zhang raw leaves sells for 1,600 to 2,000 Yuan\/kg and in 2012, the price increased to 1,800 to 3,000 Yuan\/kg. With raw leaves selling for 3,000 Yuan\/kg, it would be impossible to purchase a real Lao Ban Zhang tea cake (357 grams) for very low price per cake. Many of the cheaper, so called Lao Ban Z|hang or Ban Zhang tea cakes selling in the market contains a fraction of, if any, real Lao Ban Zhang tea leaves mixed with tea leaves collected from nearby regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste of Lao Ban Zhang is very unique and even tea leaves harvested from nearby villages do not taste the same. Generally speaking, Ban Zhang tea selling in the market refers to tea produced from the newer villages surrounding Lao Ban Zhang village, such as Xing Ban Zhang and Lao Man Er.

The old or Lao Ban Zhang village is located apart from the new or Xing Ban Zhang village.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Following are some general statistics of the Lao Ban Zhang village and its surrounding region:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are a total of 145 families in the Lao Ban Zhang village; \u003cbr\u003e The village resides at an altitude of 1,700 to 1,900 meters; Average temperature of 18.7 oC;\u003cbr\u003e Average 2,088 hours of sun light per year;\u003cbr\u003e Average rain fall between 1,341 to 1,540 mm; \u003cbr\u003e At this high altitude, the village often experience thick fogginess with average annual foggy days between 107.5 to 160.2 days. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 4,700 acres of land growing the arbour tree with merely 50 tons of average annual raw tea leaves (green Maocha) production. The original area where Lao Ban Zhang is produced is well preserved with diverse vegetation and culture. The soil is fertile and the area gets abundant sunshine, thick fogs, high humidity, all are optimum conditions for growing ancient trees. Farmers in the Lao Ban Zhang village still use the traditional method to harvest and preserve the ancient tea trees. The leaves are hand picked and no fertilizers and pesticides are used. The leaves are dried under natural sunlight to kill green and are pollution free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to 2007 statistics compiled by villagers, the number of existing tea trees in the Lao Ban Zhang village includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e More than one hundred years old: 78,555\u003cbr\u003e More than two hundred years old: 70,886 \u003cbr\u003e More than five hundred years old: 37,076 \u003cbr\u003e More than eight hundred years old: 9,412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Due to Lao Ban Zhang pu-erhs exceptional stimulating taste and its small raw tea leave production quantity each year, the price of this tea has escalated each year since 2004. Also during this time, more tea collectors would visit the village to purchase the raw leaves. The raw tea leave was selling for 800 Yuan\/kg in 2006 and the price almost doubled to 1,300 Yuan\/kg in 2007. It takes 3.6 kg of fresh raw leaves to produce 1 kg of dry tea product. In 2011, Lao Ban Zhang raw leaves sells for 1,600 to 2,000 Yuan\/kg and in 2012, the price increased to 1,800 to 3,000 Yuan\/kg. With raw leaves selling for 3,000 Yuan\/kg, it would be impossible to purchase a real Lao Ban Zhang tea cake (357 grams) for very low price per cake. Many of the cheaper, so called Lao Ban Z|hang or Ban Zhang tea cakes selling in the market contains a fraction of, if any, real Lao Ban Zhang tea leaves mixed with tea leaves collected from nearby regions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe taste of Lao Ban Zhang is very unique and even tea leaves harvested from nearby villages do not taste the same. Generally speaking, Ban Zhang tea selling in the market refers to tea produced from the newer villages surrounding Lao Ban Zhang village, such as Xing Ban Zhang and Lao Man Er. Even though the taste of these teas may be similar to the Lao Ban Zhang, even the aroma and fragrance may be consistent; yet, these teas seem to lack Lao Ban Zhangs cha chi (energy). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is important when purchasing Ban Zhang pu-erh teas to pay attention to the following few aspects. First is the unique aroma of the tea which is thick and long lasting, and the fragrance pierces straight into the heart, which is referred to by tea lovers as the dominance of the tea.
