More than 30 years of aging. Tea was matured in natural environment of south Taiwan, Kaohsiung city. 

Most likely produced by Jinggu Tea Factory in 1995-1996.

Very classic, traditional taste of well aged shu cha. Woody (different kinds of wood), sweet and mineral body. Warming and relaxing.

Impressive durability too: when you make this tea in gong fu cha style, you can make easily 10 tasty infusions.

Initially brick’s weight was 250g but now, because of long time of storage, each brick is around 230-240 g.

Highly recommended!

Description

Origin: Most likely Jinggu Tea Factory, Yunnan, China.

Vintage: 1995-1996, stored in Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Cultivar: Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica

Age of trees: unknown.

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 5-7g/100ml.
Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, rinse the tea for 5-10 seconds using boiling water and afterwards pour out all the water from your pot. The process of rinsing tea leaves is often defined as a waking the tea and is very important for quality of next brewings. Main aim of waking the tea is to remove caffeine and eventual pollution from old tea aged for many years. First drinkable infusion should be very short- not more than 10-20 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing.
