A letter to tea lovers around the world

CHAONIAN LIUPAO TEA
Where Tradition Meets Innovation


Dear Tea Enthusiasts,

For over six decades, the story of LiuPao Tea has been intertwined with the relentless passion of one man: Mr. Du Chaonian, our co-founder and guiding spirit. From the misty mountains of Guangxi to your teacup, we invite you to journey with us through time, tradition, and the transformative power of a truly exceptional tea.


A Legacy Forged in Tea

Mr. Du Chaonian’s life work reads like a love letter to LiuPao Tea:

  • 🍃 1965: Co-created the revolutionary Cold Water Pile-Fermentation Technique, redefining modern LiuPao craftsmanship.

  • 🌍 1980s: Spearheaded exports of High-Aroma LiuPao Tea to Japan, captivating tea connoisseurs worldwide.

  • 🧪 2021: Established the Du Chaonian Precision Fermentation Lab, blending ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge science.
    His motto—“Every leaf deserves reverence”—echoes in every batch we craft.


LiuPao Tea: A Liquid Chronicle

Centuries ago, tea carriers navigated the “Tea Boat Corridor” along the Xi River, ferrying baskets of LiuPao to outheast Asian mines. These rugged laborers cherished it not just as a drink, but as a lifeline—a “Red, Rich, Aged, Mellow” elixir that warmed bodies and spirits. Today, that same tea thrives as:

  • 🕰️ A Time Capsule: Decades of microbial alchemy in every bamboo basket of tea

  • 🌱 An Ecological Heirloom: 300-year-old trees guarded in Guangxi’s misty peaks.

  • 🎁 A Global Gift: From Kyoto tearooms to New York lofts, uniting palates across cultures.
