Aged Tie Guan Yin

Aged Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea, one of the finest we've ever encountered. Stored in earthenware drums and meticulously aged, this Tie Guan Yin undergoes a unique process where every 12-18 months, the leaves are lightly baked to remove surface moisture. This method ensures the tea develops a silky mouthfeel and a mellow sensation, enriched with delightful caramel notes from the repeated light baking.

This tea is incredibly resilient — you can steep Aged Tie Guan Yin for up to fifteen times.

Tea Story

While aging Oolongs is less discussed than Puerh or Heicha, it’s a time-honored practice that can elevate a great tea into something extraordinary. Properly stored (airtight with low humidity), an Oolong can develop rich, caramelized flavors over the years. However, only high-quality tea is worth aging, as inferior leaves or overly roasted teas lose complexity and become flat.

Light roast, which allows the natural sweetness and character of the leaves to shine through. Over time, it has developed deep caramel notes, complemented by hints of antique wood and a touch of fruity acidity, like hibiscus or cooked apple, adding a perfect balance to the sweetness.

Brew this tea with care, experimenting with temperature and time to discover its full potential. Sixteen years of aging have crafted a tea that is ready to be savored, but you can continue to age it for even deeper transformation.
