Honey, I’m Home! 2006 Liubao Heicha

Price range: $4.50 through $32.00

Description

This 2006 Liubao brick is made from stems and coarser material, otherwise considered the “edge scraps” that typically get screened out when making higher-grade pressings. Similar to Huangpian or Dancong Laochatou, this creates an excellent value tea that doesn’t lack in character.

Made from pre-2005 Gui Qing material and pressed in 2006 using traditional single-steaming methods, this tea delivers herbal notes of licorice root, ginseng, and a slight spicy quality reminiscent of ginger. The woody, medicinal aromatics come with a fine sweetness that’s surprisingly clean for material of this grade.

A straightforward way to get a warm and comforting aged Liu Bao without the aged tea price tag.

$0.13-0.18/gram

    My heart went crazy right after the first sniff: memories and emotions straight from my childhood. I was already excited for the ‘Rock with You’ heicha, and I was completely delighted by ‘Honey, I’m Home’! I highly recommend you try it for yourself.
    // Smell: Intense aroma of a forest trail covered with dead leaves and pine needles, a wood cabin with a fireplace in winter, incense, conifer-flavoured cough syrup, my grandma’s basement.
    // Texture: Sticky and super thick body, with a cold sensation on the tip of the tongue, gums, and teeth.
    // Taste: Winter conifer, a mulched forest trail, wood fireplace in my grandma’s basement, mild spice, mint cream, cough syrup, ginger and mint candy.
    // Body sensation: Heavy jaw, thick saliva, nostalgia, comfort, gentle body heat.
