Not to be confused with the Lu'an Guapian green tea, Liu An Basket Tea is a post-fermented dark tea from Qimen County in Anhui, packed into small lined bamboo baskets for aging. Each roughly 500-gram basket, wrapped in bamboo leaf and lined with reed, permits controlled microbial fermentation during storage. Aged examples develop a smooth, mellow character with dried plum, aged wood, and a faint medicinal sweetness, carrying a caffeine near 22 milligrams. Long popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, well-aged baskets from the 1950s to 1970s are prized by collectors. The bamboo packaging is not decorative but integral, shaping how the tea matures.
