very distinct sweet and roasted aroma of the tea leaves in the heated up teapot, even missing any oldish smell, the first sip is very milky like feel with soft and pleasent aftertaste, overipe cherries note, a whole body energy wake up, the second brew has more like sour cherries with sweet cake like finish, overpowering sweet scent out of a tall porcelain cup, the wider porcelain cup shows more acidity with sourness that is very fruity like, the third brew suprisingly brings old notes and fruity acidity, now it shows off as a very old oolong way, when the brew cools down it is even more fruity and soft, the fourth and fift brew acidity is reduces and the tea is more candy like, smooth sweetness with juicy feeling comes with later brews, a bit of earthy aftertaste feel reminding of its great age

a great tea for a great price,

sourcing such aged teas is more about a connection with the person rather than business as it is a piece of their past and it is we may call as a flavour of the history

this is one of the two old oolong teas listed in 2026 from an old master roaster Mr. Chang from Taiwan, he is about to sell out his oolong tea treasure
