Cha Zhi Ji – Yuan Bao: Woody-Aged Liu Bao Tea (2000s) | Malaysian Vault Collection

Yuan Bao Liu Bao – Aged Woody Fragrance from the 2000s

Yuan Bao is a standout Liu Bao from Cha Zhi Ji’s Ma Cang Mu Xiang Series, referring to its aged woody aroma (mu xiang) that forms naturally after long-term storage in our dedicated Malaysian vault. Produced in the 2000s in Wuzhou, Guangxi, this dark tea showcases decades of careful transformation.

Crafted using traditional processes—kill-green, rolling, steaming, and pressing—followed by cold fermentation and slow aging, Yuan Bao offers a brew that is smooth, mellow, and densely layered. It delivers a soft yet rich liquor with lingering aftertaste and throat-warming complexity.

The aroma blends woody depth with light pine smoke and aged notes. Each steep reveals evolving textures and deepening flavor, a sign of expert blending and aging. Yuan Bao is both hydrating and deeply satisfying, ideal for multiple infusions and quiet appreciation.

A collector’s Liu Bao with serene strength and old-world character.
