Description

Stonehouse takes you back in time, evoking images of deep, dark forests. Mineral-rich wet earth and quiet streams, the tea carries a thick, unctuous body that fills the whole mouth and lingers for a long time. With a sweet aroma like caramelized dates, the brew is thick and brothy with oatmeal cookie sweetness. As one friend noted, “this tea is like Grandpa’s secret stash in the back of the antique shop.” With smoky, oaky notes, Stonehouse mellows you out. Oh, and we suggest reading a little Stonehouse poetry while drinking it.

Origin: Guangxi Province, China - Hong Kong Stored, 1990

Liu Bao is fermented and dried in a long delicate process in preparation for further ageing. During the tin-mining boom of the 19th century, enormous quantities of Liu Bao and other teas were imported into Malaya as a customary beverage for the colonies of hard-working Chinese migrants who worked the mines. After the collapse of tin prices in the 1980s, mining declined and the huge stockpiles of Liu Bao were left in storage for decades or sold cheaply for consumption by the local Chinese population. This type of tea is a special treasure that often escapes even a mention in modern books on tea. We are lucky to have some and to share it with you.
