1980s Sun Yi Shun Liu An
Black Tea by The Essence of Tea
Not Pu’er, but since this is the only Liu An I sell, I decided to include it in this category.
Although the wholesaler was claims this tea as being from the 70’s, as far as I can tell, this Liu An was produced in the early-mid 80’s by Sun Yi Shun company.
The storage has been good – despite being stored for most of its life in Hong Kong and then Taiwan, it has not received too much humidity and still retains the flavour of the tea.
This tea really opens up after the first few infusions, with the chaqi waking up and the characteristic Liu An flavour coming through.
More photos and tasting notes coming in a few weeks. I’m travelling at the moment and don’t have a good chance to redrink this tea.
