This rare Tie Guan Yin was aged more than 20 years long. The leaves were baked only once in 1993. Originally a flowery Tie Guan Yin, the leaves slowly changed over the years becoming darker and gaining body and depth.
The fragrance is mature with stimulating sweet-sour hints. The taste, old and heavy, reveals yet a tea that is still alive.
TASTE: Mature, full, heavy, slightly sweet
