If the leaves of the Liu An is green, it might be that the tea is still a
young buck.

Liu An leaves are dark amber to brown, like a raw aged pu'er.

Liu Bao leaves are similar to that of cooked pu'er, most of the times they
don't expand or unfurl.

You haven't said. What are the color of the LiuBao spent leaves when
brewed? My one known LiuAn from Anhui are green. My other LiuAn
probably from Guangxi are black. I myself am too nutty to know if
there is a difference in like taste besides the sweetness. I need to
get some LiuBao and go from there. Besides LiuAn has anybody seen
LiuBao in Chinatown?

xièxiè,
