Aged tea is tea leaves that have been stored for a long period of time, usually measured in years. However, there is no clear standard defining which tea can be called aged, as this depends on the variety and production technology.
Why drink aged tea?
The main feature of aged tea is its aroma and taste..
Over time, substances in the tea oxidize and transform,
creating unique aromas, such as ginseng, red bean, fruity and sour notes. At the same time, the content of bitter components in the tea leaves decreases, making the tea infusion softer and sweeter.
Thus, aged tea can give us sensations different from “fresh” tea, allowing us to experience the charm gifted by time.
Why is aged tea so expensive?
The high price of aged tea is primarily due to its rarity and production cost. The production of good aged tea requires certain conditions(long-term storage, suitable premises, strict control).Aged tea needs to be stored for several years or even decades, which means very high time costs and storage costs (such tea cannot be moved arbitrarily or exposed to sunlight, and strict control of the climate of the place where it is stored must be maintained).
