Aged Taiwanese oolong
The modern production technique for Lao Cha Wan involves preparing oolong tea similarly to other Taiwanese oolongs. Most oolongs are first roasted to a moisture level suitable for storage. The master retains a small amount of the year's best tea, placing it in large stone or clay vessels, covered with thick paper to absorb moisture. The aging tea is typically removed and checked every two to three years, carefully re-roasting it to eliminate excess moisture and preserve its aroma.
The natural aging process takes about three years, during which the tea loses its fresh appearance and scent. After a minimum of three years of storage, the tea begins to develop the unique softness characteristic of aged oolongs. Experts consider six to eight years as the minimum age for the maturity of Lao Cha Wan.
Aroma: woody-spicy, nutty, with a menthol tartness.
Taste: soft, clean, multifaceted, roasted, sweet-caramel, spicy-nutty, with notes of dried roots and crème brûlée. The aftertaste is juicy, long-lasting, and rich.
Effect: harmonizing, relaxing, meditative. Suitable for a mindful tea ceremony.
Harvest: 2012, Taiwan.
How to brew: Preheat your vessel, whether it’s a porcelain gaiwan or a porous Yixing teapot. Use 5 grams of tea leaves per 100 ml of water. Use water at 92-97°C to fully reveal the potential of Taiwanese oolong. It can withstand multiple steepings. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the remarkable, subtle, and shifting aroma of this tea whenever possible.
Let customers speak for us
The tea was truly delightful. Its aroma at first reminds me of sunflower, then a gentle sweetness arrives, followed by a soft, warming sensation that carries you into open meadows. Thoughts and worries drift away like distant clouds, restoring balance, and with each infusion the leaves give more than I expected. I recommend it — it soothes the body and supports digestion after a meal.
I think this tea is the most “green” tasting tea for the budget. If you want someone to get introduced to proper green teas (e.g. show that they are killing any green it when pouring hard boiled water), this would be the perfect tea to do so
It is not usual to see tea leaves of green tea to be **that** flat, but other than that — no issues
Great green tea with a hint of lilac aftertaste
Pure flowers! Orchid blossom! Drinks very easily and tasty!
very fast delivery! Bravo
I recommend this genuine black tea to all tea lovers. It's similar to shu puerh, but has a more woody and earthy character.
Интересный темный улун. Я для себя определить что именнов нем меня больше привлекает. Наверное какой-то особый баланс вкусовой гаммы и насыщенности вкуса.
One of my favorite gaba. Fruity, refreshing well enough. I even making it cold brew!
The best GABA I have ever tried. I recommend everyone try this tea even you drink coffee or something other. You will enjoy this drink. It’s like paradise but in your cup
