How did Liubao Tea get its name?

"Tea produces more sages and six castles, and the taste is strong and stays the same overnight." This is the record of Cangwu Liubao Tea in A Qing Tongzhi's Cangwu County Annals. Liubao tea is a specialty of Guangxi, including loose tea and basket tea, belonging to black tea. Produced in Liubao Town, Cangwu County, Guangxi, it is called Cangwu Liubao and has a history of more than 200 years. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty (1796— 1820), betel nut was one of the famous teas in China. Liubao tea is an evergreen shrub of Theaceae, with long elliptic-lanceolate leaves, dark brown, shiny, yellow spots and reddish brown leaves. Liubao tea element is famous for its four unique qualities of "red, strong, aged and mellow". Its string is long and tight, the soup color is red and thick, the aroma is Chen Ho, the taste is mellow and delicious, the orthodox should have the taste of pine smoke and betel nut, and the leaf bottom is copper brown. Liubao tea is made from fresh leaves of local big-leaf tea trees, and the picking standard is one bud, two or three leaves or one bud, three or four leaves. When the new leaves are ripe, they are made through five processes: deactivating enzymes, rolling, fermenting, re-rolling and drying. The characteristic of enzyme fixation is low temperature, and the kneading is mainly based on shaping, supplemented by cell crushing. Stacking fermentation is the key link to form the unique quality of Liubao tea. Its purpose is to promote the change of contents, reduce bitterness, make the taste mellow, eliminate the green odor and turn the leaves into dark yellow-brown green. When piled up for fermentation, the juice is moderately thick and gives off a unique fragrance, which belongs to post-fermented tea.

Liubao tea is packed in bamboo baskets. After steaming and kneading the crude tea, it was packed in baskets, compacted, placed in the shade, stored in the air for several months, and fermented to make the tea compact, thus forming Liubao basket tea with unique mellow and old fragrance. Traditional bamboo basket packaging is beneficial to the continuous transformation of tea contents during storage, which makes the taste mellow, the soup color deepen and the old fragrance appear. Liubao tea can be made into Liubao cake tea, Liubao brick tea and Liubao Tuo tea by steaming. ?
