In the lush hills of Guangxi, a 65-year-old tea master is stirring up more than just leaves. Wei Jiequn, a guardian of Liubao tea's centuries-old legacy, has spent over 40 years perfecting the art of transforming bitter leaves into earthy, aromatic brews that taste like history in a cup.
As a national-level inheritor of this intangible cultural heritage, Wei doesn’t just make tea—she keeps traditions alive. Through her master studio in Liubao Town (yes, the tea’s namesake!), she trains local farmers in ancient techniques like 'wodui' fermentation, turning them into custodians of flavor.
\"Every cup tells our story,\" Wei says of the dark, mellow tea that’s been traded since the Tang Dynasty. Now, as global tea lovers hunt for authentic experiences, Liubao’s revival isn’t just about taste—it’s a cultural lifeline for Guangxi’s rural communities.
Next time you brew, imagine: hands weathering leaves, generations sharing wisdom, and a taste that’s survived empires. That’s the power of #TeaTok, ancient edition.
