Teabag Subscription

How does the teabag subscription work?

Our Golden Series whole leaf pyramid teabag subscription lets you choose any 10-bag box and set your delivery frequency:

  • Weekly – 20% off
  • Every 2 weeks – 15% off
  • Monthly – 10% off

Your first month of tea is free (you only pay shipping). One free trial per household or payment method. After the trial, your plan renews automatically at the chosen frequency until you pause or cancel.

Can I subscribe to multiple tea types at once?

Yes. On each teabag product page, choose your subscription frequency and add the box to your cart. Repeat for each tea you like. Your subscription will follow the mix you build.

Can I cancel or modify my subscription?

Yes. You can pause, cancel, or change your subscription from your account dashboard. Please make changes at least 48 hours before your next billing date to apply to the upcoming shipment.

Products & Storage

What makes your Liu Bao teas special?

Our Liu Bao collection includes carefully selected aged teas from the 1980s–2000s, stored under stable conditions and released in limited quantities. Many are vintage or collector-grade lots.

Are your teabags made with nylon?

No. We use biodegradable corn-fibre pyramid bags that are food-safe, heat-resistant, and eco-friendly. There is no nylon in our teabags.

How should I store my tea?

Keep tea in a cool, dry place away from light, moisture, and strong odours. Avoid the fridge. Pu-erh and Liu Bao can continue to age and evolve if stored in a clean, breathable environment.

How do I care for Yixing purple clay teapots and kettles?

Always rinse without soap or detergent and dedicate one vessel to one tea type (for example: one pot just for Wuyi rock tea). Over time, the clay will season and enhance the aroma of your tea. For a step-by-step routine, see: How to Clean Your Yixing Teapot Daily .
