Aged Teas

Just like fine wines, premium teas can be aged, with exceptional results if done carefully. Discover our range of aged teas, with the smooth, rich, and mellow tasting notes that only time and patience can create.

    Aged oolongs are rare in the world of teas. Unlike pu-erhs that change through microbial activity, oolong leaves age naturally. And whereas pu-erh teas are considered "living teas" that must be exposed to air, aged oolongs are often kept sealed as they age. This tea was sourced in the mid-80's,...
