1970s Tea

This collection of 1970s tea features rare, well-preserved selections from a time when China’s Cultural Revolution significantly impacted how tea was grown, produced, and stored. Merchants in Hong Kong and Taiwan bought and stored these teas for future use. Anticipating their future value, collectors then bought and preserved the teas, storing them in optimal conditions that allowed them to steadily mature over the decades. As a result of this 50+ year journey, 1970s teas are unique and complex, making them highly sought-after by modern tea drinkers and collectors.

Demand for aged teas has soared over the last few decades. Discerning drinkers seek more unique experiences, transforming these products into sought-after commodities. The flavors of 1970s teas are often described as earthy, woody, and complex. Black, oolong, and puerh tea can also develop a unique sweetness over time. The longer the tea ages, the more those vegetal and astringent notes transform, taking on more sweetness and complexity. It’s not just about tasting history. It’s about enjoying a product that takes patience and care to produce. With over 50 years of maturation behind them, these teas are unlike anything else.
