Aged Tieguanyin Oolong Tea from 1988

Description

This aged Tieguanyin Oolong tea from 1988 is a Premium Grade Oolong. It delivers a heavy-roasted taste and flavor due to the carefully controlled conditions in which the tea ages.

Unlike Puerh, which ages partially through fermentation, Oolong relies on oxidation and caramelization. Over time, as the tea leaves develop more complex flavors, they also absorb moisture from the environment. Tea masters keep the moisture levels under control by periodically roasting the tea.

It ensures the tea remains in an optimal condition, but it also imparts richer aromas and flavors with each roasting.
