Liu Bao Dark Tea(Hei Cha) falls within the same category as Puerh Tea, for it is fermented longer than Oolong but less than black. The raw tea leaves harvested in the region are piled up, and exposed to a high degree of humidity for a certain period of time until the desired level of fermentation is achieved. Water is sprayed on occasionally to keep the environment constantly humid and the pile is covered by blankets. Such a humid and warm temperature condition controlled humanly accelerates the fermentation of the tea, known as 'wo dui' in Chinese. It is interesting to know all modern cooked Puerh teas are made in the same way.
