Legendary Pu-erh Tea Master Lu Li-Chen & Artisanal Teas from Taiwan

Mr. Lu (or Lü Li Zhen) is the main artisan behind the revival of Yiwu's brick and mortar artisanal Pu-erh (Puer) tea cake. In the 1990s, Mr. Lu and the surviving local craftsmen brought back the micro tea makers' traditional Puer cake methodology after decades of demise. Yiwu, home to high-quality Raw Puer Tea on the southern border of China, is once again bustling with artisans crafting this centennial craft was revived. The region now thrives with Puer creation. 

Mr. Lu's Puer has been decorated with multiple accolades for many years that Puer has come back to life. His streaks include the grad prize in 2010 for his Zhenwei Hao, the signature premium Puer. He's also been at the forefront of promoting Taiwan's artisanal oolong tea for the past couple of decades, starting with his helming position at the international tea association. 

Now, Lihao Lifestyle is introducing you to the love and craftsmanship of Mr. Lu's artisanal teas.
