From TheTea

It’s not first aged Baozhong in TheTea history. But the first one with so clean and dry storage. Traditionally made Baozong oolong stored for 20 years in the farmer’s house near Pinglin. Warmed leaves of this powerful oolong smell similar to aged yancha – you will find here wood, camphor and hard to describe medicinal flavours.

Storage aroma is very gentle. From the first infusions you can enjoy strong salivating effect.

Tea is mineral, camphor like with warm notes of wood and nuts and autumn leaves. Further infusions are bringing notes typical for Baozhong – honey sweetness and flowers (but here decaying flowers).

Aftertaste: amazing – long and sweet. Tasting this tea is a real journey.

Origin: Pinglin, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Harvest: 1999
Tea cultivar Qing Xin oolong

After more than 20 years, the tea has a weak aroma and taste with an interesting sweet aftertaste. However, the cha qi is just superb – soothing and meditative, spreading warmth all over my body.

While the aroma is weak, it is also utterly unique and indescribable. The taste is a bit woody and sour – at times it reminds me of butter cookies or cut grass. The aftertaste is crisp, sweet and savoury with notes of plant stems and meat.

The tea liquor has a medium thickness and a creamy mouthfeel inducing a lot of salivation and a cooling sensation in the throat.
