This 2019 Aged Loose-Leaf Green Tea comes from Mr. Lin’s tea garden in Guangdong, China. It is a full-bodied Chinese green tea highly appreciated by seasoned tea lovers in our physical tea house.

History of Chinese Green Tea

The history of Chinese green tea production dates back to the Tang Dynasty, evolving over more than a thousand years.

Each tea-producing region developed unique techniques and flavors, and this tea continues that tradition while offering its own distinctive profile.

Rare High-Temperature Roasting

This tea is processed using a rare high-temperature, long-duration roasting method.

Unlike most Chinese green teas, which are roasted at lower temperatures, this technique rapidly evaporates moisture from the leaves, enhancing flavor and aroma while making the leaves more suitable for long-term storage.

Production Process

Precise control of time and temperature is required to:

• Preserve natural compounds
• Avoid any burnt taste

Some scholars even suggest that this may be the most original and traditional green tea processing method.

Key Features

• Improves with age, developing richer flavors over time
• Freshly made tea may taste bitter and grassy, a natural characteristic

Aging & Rarity

Over the years, the Chinese Tea Group has consistently purchased large quantities of this tea each season from Guangdong, allowing it to naturally age.

Only after the harsh flavors mellow into sweetness and the tea develops a smooth, gentle character is it shared with tea enthusiasts.

As a result, this aged loose-leaf green tea is rarely seen on the market and requires expertise, passion, and careful prediction of how its flavor will evolve.

Brewing Recommendations

This well-aged tea is wonderfully versatile and suitable for any brewing method. Experimenting with water temperature allows you to discover your preferred flavor profile:

• ~85°C (185°F) → fresh and sweet infusion
• 100°C (212°F) → rich and complex cup with a lasting aftertaste

By adjusting water temperature, tea quantity, and steeping time, you can effortlessly tailor your experience from a light and refreshing brew to a robust and full-bodied cup.
