1. Betel nut fragrance

The first taste of Liubao tea is betel nut fragrance, which can be described as the top-grade fragrance of Liubao tea, and it is too old to be discovered. As early as the Qing Dynasty, Liubao tea became one of the twenty-four famous teas because of its unique betel nut flavor. It is precisely because the aged tea of Liubao Tea has betel nut fragrance. It should be noted that due to modern science and technology, there are few Liuhe teas with betel nut fragrance, so many people distort the fragrance of betel nut fragrance for the benefit.

The betel nut flavor in Liubao tea has a long history of development, which was defined by the ancients in the Qing Dynasty. As cultural inheritors, we should respect the original definition. Objectively speaking, the aroma emitted when chewing betel nut is somewhat similar to that of aged Liubao tea, but the concentration, intensity and thickness of these aromas and tastes can't be compared with betel nut. There is absolutely no strong green, sweet, burnt and tar smell, which has nothing to do with the smell of smoke.

2, pine smoke incense

The second taste of Liubao tea is pine smoke, which people are familiar with. Rosin is introduced from tea books, and together with betel nut fragrance, it is the classic fragrance type of Liubao tea. The pine smoke aroma of aged Liubao tea is not the aroma of pine smoke, but the natural tea aroma. It is not the result of dyeing and smoking, but the flavor of natural aging, which is also one of the methods to identify the authenticity of the original Liubao tea.

3. Drug fragrance

The third taste of Liubao tea is medicinal fragrance, and the so-called medicinal fragrance means knowing its taste by smelling its fragrance. The smell of medicine is just like that of traditional Chinese medicine.

4. Honey fragrance

The fourth taste of Liubao tea is honey fragrance, and the so-called honey fragrance is the fragrance of camellia. Then this aroma type is the aroma that comes out first when Liubao tea is relatively new. There is a faint honey fragrance. If you smell the camellia of Liubao tea, it is easier to realize its unique honey fragrance.

5, jujube fragrance

The fifth taste of Liubao tea is jujube fragrance, just like the aroma of jujube. Then this aroma is the most common aroma of aged ripe tea, sweet jujube aroma, especially when cooking tea.

6. Auckland

The sixth taste of Liubao tea is wood, which is actually quite special. Then, this fragrance is one of the old fragrances of Liubao tea, like turpentine and jujube, with woody and medicinal flavor. The aroma of cooked tea will be more common.

7. Ginseng incense

The seventh taste of Liubao tea is agarwood, which is also a kind of agarwood. Ginseng refers to American ginseng, which smells like American ginseng. Some people mistakenly think that ginseng incense is the smell of wet storage. In fact, the method of identifying whether it is wet is not complicated, and it can be identified by making tea with boiling water.
