Description
Si Jin Qian (四金钱, “Four Coins”) is among the most celebrated Liu Bao teas in history. Originally produced by the renowned Shen Cheong 慎昌號 during the Qing Dynasty, it became a hallmark of Hong Kong’s golden tea era and was widely exported throughout Southeast Asia, where it was prized for its warming, restorative qualities. This legendary Liu Bao has two rare vintages, each expressing a unique stage of its storied character: 🍂 1970s Edition – Vintage Hong Kong & Malaysian Aged, First stored in Kowloon, Hong Kong, then further matured in Malaysia’s climate, this decades-old Liu Bao carries a profound earthy depth, with layered notes of antique wood, dried jujube, and the distinct fragrance of aged tea. Thick, smooth, and warming, it evokes the essence of traditional Hong Kong-style Liu Bao—perfect for contemplative mornings or grounding moments of calm. 🌿 2000s Edition – Young Aged, Balanced & Energetic, Naturally aged in Malaysia for over two decades, this vintage reflects the classic Si Jin Qian profile in a younger, more vibrant form. Clean aged-wood aroma, smooth texture, and a mellow finish highlight its balance, while its vitality and strong infusibility suggest the promising transformation into a fine old Liu Bao with further aging. With its revival, Si Jin Qian once again embodies the timeless heritage of Liu Bao—bridging past and present, history and taste.
