Aged Oolong Tea

Aged oolong refers to oolong teas stored for over 7 years, categorized as Vintage Oolongs (20-40 years old) and Antique Oolongs (over 40 years old). Aged oolong develops distinct characteristics over time, retaining much of its original harvest fragrance while gaining a dark tea quality. It’s more complex and well-rounded. It’s also vastly different from young oolong. The aging process is slow, considered, and carefully managed.

Initially, a roasting process known as “fixing” stops oxidation. However, oolong retains a little moisture, and this aids with slow fermentation over many years. The sugars and amino acids break down. The astringent flavors mellow out. And while it retains some fresh, vegetal notes, it develops more intense flavors.

Flavor profiles differ by variety and age, but aged oolong is often sweeter, nuttier, and woodier. It’s more complex than its younger counterpart. Our aged oolong teas are meticulously dry-stored in Asia and imported to the USA. These limited, high-quality teas are hand-selected through rigorous tasting and inspection, offering a sip of Oolong history with every cup. Quality aged oolong tea is hard to find, and we only stock the best, so we tend to sell out very quickly. We do everything we can to re-stock, but these teas are very limited by nature, so grab them while you can!
