These are mostly coarse leaves from the current year or 2–3-year-old growth. “Cha Po” is the Liubao people’s respectful name for old leaves.

The name reflects the farmers’ wisdom of “making full use of what you have.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround Shuangjiang, large temperature differences and reduced rainfall make the old leaves thicker and richer in sugars and nutrients, giving the tea a natural cane sugar sweetness.
