1970’s Dry Stored Aged Pinglin Oolong

This is one of these amazing teas I found during my trip to Pinglin during 2023 spring.

I was focused mainly on fresh Baozhongs made from old cultivars… but as you know me, I was asking every farmer about old teas in their storages.

1970’s Dry Stored Aged Pinglin Oolong is 50 years old tea what makes it the oldest tea in our offer.

It’s of course huge taste and aroma experience, but this tea carries lots about history of tea in that area. You can easily notice the tea is rolled in different way with quite lots of stems. You can see that old rolling machines were making different results comparing to modern teas.

When tasting this amazing oolong you will find notes of fresh tobacco, dark cane sugar, wood, incenses and surprising nuances of candied star fruit and ginseng.

Aftertaste stays with drinker really long time.

Tea is really smooth, balanced and sweet with well developed aged character.

Warming and deeply relaxing experience.
