Aged Tea

Share/Bookmark

The purpose of aging the tea is to continuously transform the tea in a suitable environment through time resulting in a unique natural aroma and taste.
In general, tea that is stored for more than 10 years can be considered "aged tea".
Exposure to tea that is more than 20 years is already rare, let alone tea that is more than 30 years.
Aged teas are very versatile; they will change differently due to their type and the way of storage.  There will be differences in taste, aroma, and color.  However, If the tea quality is not good, or if the tea process is not complete, it will not turn into quality aged tea even if it is aged and stored properly.
The color of real authentic aged tea is bright and clear.  Its taste is rich, smooth, sweet, and mellow with a gentle nature.  Sometimes the aged tea will emit an exceptional aroma which is of premium quality that is rare to find.
