Aged white tea undergoes an extended fermentation process, leading to changes in its chemical composition:
  1. Enhanced Taste and Aroma: with time going on, the taste of white tea goes from sweet and fresh to rich layers of aroma and taste . The aromas of jujube, medicinal herbs, lotus leaves, and bamboo leaves are commonly found in aged white tea, and the tea soup carries a lingering charm of aging.
  1. Health Benefits: Fermentation generates more antioxidants and other beneficial components, enhancing the body's immune system, promoting beauty and skincare, and has effects on slowing down aging, reducing blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood sugar, and improving mental state.
  1. Symbol of Chinese Tea Culture: Aged white tea is highly valued in China, symbolizing the passage of time and reflecting people's appreciation for tea. There's a common saying: "Buy new tea, drink old tea." Time changes us, and it changes tea too. After 10 years, when you brew an aged tea, you can feel the changes in both yourself and the tea, presenting a unique taste and experience.
*While white tea generally has a longer shelf life compared to other tea types, proper storage is essential to maintain its quality:
  1. Storage Conditions: Keep aged white tea in a well-ventilated, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent moisture and mold. Consider using breathable tea cans or paper bags for storage.
  2. Odor Absorption: Aged white tea may absorb odors, so store it away from strongly scented items to preserve its original flavor.
  3. Regular Tasting: Not all teas are suitable for prolonged storage. Regular tasting helps understand its evolution and determines the optimal drinking period.
  4. Humidity Control: If the storage environment is excessively dry, moderate air humidity can be increased, but precautions should be taken to prevent mold growth on the tea leaves.
