　　This process is the most mature and complete process in the current large-scale production of Liu Pao tea. This time I am accepting apprentices to pass on this process and carry it forward.

The taste is mellow and pure, and the tea is fragrant, which is comparable to Lao Liubao, which has been aged for more than ten years.

The perfection, maturity and standardization of this process have realized the development and upgrading of Liubao tea from the traditional farming tea form to the modern technological innovation tea industry, and enhanced the industrialization and scale of Liubao tea.
