Why this product?
Many people are unclear about what qualifies as aged tea and how to tell the age of tea. iTeaworld has been working with aged tea in the Chinese market for 20 years. We believe that for tea to be considered "aged," it should meet these three criteria: 1. It should have an aged or woody aroma. 2. The tea liquor should be smooth, rich, and sweet. 3. There should be a noticeable warm sensation in the body, especially in the hands and feet, after drinking.

Based on this standard, we’ve selected 10 aged teas, including Oolong, black tea, white tea, dark tea, Pu-erh, and green tea, to help tea lovers understand what aged tea really is.

1995 Shui Xian Oolong Tea: 2 packs of 5g each

Why Aged Tea is Still Drinkable:

The reason aged tea can still be consumed safely lies in the unique chemistry of tea leaves and traditional storage methods. Tea contains powerful antioxidants like catechins and polyphenols, which naturally help slow oxidation, keeping tea consumable for extended periods. Dried tea absorbs only minimal moisture and oxygen, meaning it doesn’t provide the damp environment that bacteria need to grow. As long as tea is stored properly—dry, cool, and sealed against odors—it won’t spoil easily, and you can enjoy it without worries if there’s no mold or strange smells.

How Different Types of Tea Age:

Dark Tea (Hei Cha)
Dark tea, when properly aged, undergoes microbial transformations that mellow its flavor. Over time, compounds like caffeine and polyphenols break down, shifting the taste from bitter to smooth and rich. Dark tea requires specific storage conditions: dry, airy, and cool, to support this mellowing process.

White Tea
In China, there’s a saying about white tea: "One-year tea, three-year medicine, seven-year treasure." Aging for three years or more brings out richer flavors and enhances its perceived medicinal value. As white tea ages, the leaves soften in flavor and aroma, creating a more layered drinking experience.

Black Tea
Black tea generally maintains its natural sweetness and fragrance over time, and since its flavor doesn’t improve with aging, most black teas are best enjoyed fresh. However, certain types of compressed black teas, like Hunan's Fu Brick, can develop deeper flavors with storage due to gradual microbial changes.

Oolong Tea
Roasted Oolong teas like Wuyi Rock Tea (Yan Cha) gain complexity as they age. The roasted notes soften, and the tea develops a distinctive “aged aroma,” adding richness and hints of sweetness. Proper storage is essential to preserve its unique characteristics: keep it dry, away from direct sunlight, and sealed to maintain freshness.

Jasmine Green Tea
Jasmine Green Tea, infused with fresh jasmine flowers, has a unique floral aroma that is best enjoyed within one or two years. Over time, the green tea component oxidizes, leading to a darker color and a softer floral note. To preserve the jasmine aroma and freshness, it’s ideal to store it sealed, in a cool, dry place, or even refrigerate it if possible.

Seasonality of Oolong Tea

Oolong tea can be harvested in all four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. However, Wuyi rock tea is only harvested in the spring. Oolong teas picked in the midday usually have the most pronounced aroma. Summer teas are mostly used in milk tea and are less common in loose leaf tea markets.

Spring teas tend to grow slower, resulting in higher levels of amino acids and tea polyphenols, with a lower ratio of phenols to amino acids. However, due to the frequent rainy weather in tea-growing areas like Fujian and Guangdong, spring teas may have less aromatic compounds than autumn or winter teas. Therefore, autumn and winter oolongs tend to have a stronger aroma. Winter oolongs, in particular, may even have a crisp, cold-like fragrance. Spring oolongs, on the other hand, tend to be richer in substances, offering a sweeter and fresher taste.

This product features three different seasonal Duck Shit Aroma teas from the same tea master in Hutou Village, Fenghuang Town. The oxidation and roasting levels are different for each, as oolong tea is all about adjusting to the leaves' conditions. Winter leaves are thinner, so oxidation and roasting are usually lighter. Try these three teas to see if you can notice the flavor differences between the seasons.

Discover Authentic Chinese Black Tea Collection
Chinese black tea has a 400-year heritage and remains deeply rooted in tradition. From the smoky pine notes of Tongmuguan’s classic Zhengshan Xiaozhong, to the refined, fruity aromas of Keemun prized by European royalty, to the full-bodied richness of Yunnan’s ancient-tree Gongfu black tea, each variety tells a unique story. What sets these teas apart is the dedication to traditional, hands-on methods: the leaves are handpicked, sun-wilted, and even slow-dried over charcoal or pinewood fires to preserve their natural shape and complexity. This commitment results in whole-leaf teas with a depth and character far beyond mass-produced, machine-processed black teas.

iTeaworld has curated this premium selection to showcase China’s finest and most diverse black teas, capturing varying fermentation levels and distinct terroir influences. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast looking to experience authentic Chinese flavors or seeking a unique gift, this collection offers a refined tasting journey through China’s rich tea-making legacy.

Note: Chinese high-quality black teas are best enjoyed on their own, without milk or sugar. If you prefer a stronger, milk-friendly tea, this may not be the ideal collection for you. But for those who appreciate nuanced, natural flavors, this set is an invitation to explore a truly exceptional tea experience.

Soil Environment

In The Classic of Tea by Lu Yu, it’s mentioned that tea trees grow best in different types of soils: “the best grow in rotten rocks, the middle in gravelly soil, and the worst in yellow earth.” Soil with rocks provides good drainage and airflow, preventing both waterlogging in heavy rain and dryness during droughts. It’s rich in minerals, and tea trees thrive in soil that’s both moist and acidic. For example, the finest Wuyi rock teas grow in soil made up of rotten rocks and gravel. On the other hand, lower-grade Wuyi teas, which mainly grow in yellow earth, lack the signature rocky flavor and have simpler, less complex aromas and tastes.

If you want to experience how different soil types affect the flavor of oolong tea, the best example would be a collection of Wuyi Rock Teas from various environments. This includes:

Core Zhengyan Wuyi Tea: Known for its rocky, gravelly soil, represented by the famous Three Pits and Two Streams (San Keng Liang Jian).

This curated collection of Chinese scented teas celebrates the traditional craft of floral tea making, where premium teas are layered with fresh flowers like jasmine, rose, and osmanthus to infuse their essence. Through meticulous multi-round scenting (3-5 times), each tea offers a pure, natural floral aroma without a single petal in sight. Perfect for floral tea lovers or anyone curious about authentic Chinese scented teas, it includes six varieties: Jasmine Green Tea, Rose Black Tea, Jasmine Black Tea, Osmanthus Oolong, Jasmine Oolong Tea
and Jasmine Dark Tea. Ideal for gifting or indulging, this set combines rich heritage, delicate flavors, and the artistry of a UNESCO-recognized tradition. Not suited for those who prefer plain teas or are sensitive to floral fragrances.

Chinese Scented Tea Craftsmanship

"Scenting" is a traditional process where tea leaves are layered with fresh flowers, allowing the tea to absorb the floral aroma before the flowers are removed. This process is repeated multiple times to create the rich fragrance of high-quality scented teas. The best scented teas have no visible petals but retain the pure floral essence. By meticulously layering flowers and tea, ensuring proper aeration, and maintaining strict control over the scenting time and roasting process, the tea reaches peak flavor and aroma.

Depending on the number of scenting cycles—3, 6, or even 9 times—the tea's quality and complexity increase, with some processes taking up to a month. This craftsmanship, involving over 60 days and 200 steps, was recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2022 for Jasmine Green Tea. While jasmine green tea is the original scented tea, modern innovation has expanded the range to include many beloved varieties.

This curated set features six of China’s most popular traditional scented teas, each crafted to perfection with vibrant floral aromas but no petals in sight:

Should You Really Buy High-Altitude Tea? This Product Might Help You Decide

High-altitude tea is grown in regions with big temperature differences between day and night, cooler temperatures, and frequent cloud cover. These conditions slow down the tea’s growth, keeping the leaves tender and rich in amino acids. This results in teas that are naturally sweeter, fresher, and more aromatic. High-altitude teas are perfect for light to medium oxidation and roasting levels. Examples of high-altitude oolongs include Taiwan High Mountain Tea and Phoenix Dan Cong.

Low-altitude teas, on the other hand, generally have higher levels of tea polyphenols, but tend to have a weaker aroma and lower endurance for multiple infusions.
This product features three Duck Shit Oolong teas, all crafted by the same tea master in Fenghuang Town with similar oxidation and roasting levels. The only difference is the altitude where they were grown, making it easy to compare how altitude affects the tea's flavor.

The Art of Roasting Oolong Tea

Roasting oolong tea serves three key purposes: reducing moisture, removing any off-flavors, and lowering caffeine content, all while enhancing the tea's aroma and flavor.Teas with different oxidation levels need different roasting levels. Usually, lightly oxidized teas are lightly roasted to enhance their flavor. If a tea is lightly oxidized but heavily roasted, it can taste too smoky, often because the oxidation wasn’t done properly and the roasting is used to cover it up.
The level of roasting significantly impacts the tea’s aroma and taste. Light roasting preserves the fresh, floral fragrance, while heavy roasting creates a richer, smoother brew with toasty or smoky undertones.

This tea features Wuyi Rougui oolong from the renowned Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, crafted by the same tea master. The only difference lies in the roasting level, offering you an excellent opportunity to explore how roasting shapes the flavors of oolong tea.

Maybe You’re Not a Fan of Aged Tea Trees

In both Pu-erh and oolong tea, the age of the tea tree matters. Generally, older trees are rarer, which drives up their price. The age of the trees is most significant in certain oolong varieties, like Shui Xian (including Phoenix Shui Xian, Wuyi Shui Xian, and Minbei Shui Xian).

Typically, younger tea trees contain higher levels of amino acids but lower levels of tea polyphenols and minerals. This results in teas that are sweeter and fresher, but with a lighter, less complex flavor. These teas tend to have more floral notes and are best suited for light fermentation and roasting processes.

On the other hand, older tea trees tend to have higher levels of tea polyphenols, fiber, sugars, and minerals. They’re not as restricted by processing techniques, and the resulting teas are often richer, with more prominent sweetness, a longer-lasting aftertaste, and better endurance for multiple infusions.

This product features Phoenix Shui Xian and Wuyi Shui Xian from the same origin, made with similar processes but from different-aged trees. It’s a great way to compare how tree age influences the flavor of oolong tea.

Oolong Tea: The Balance of Oxidation

Oolong tea is a partially oxidized tea, with oxidation levels ranging from 10% to 70%. Oxidation plays a key role in shaping the tea's aroma and the brightness of its flavor. Light oxidation creates fresh floral and fruity notes, while higher oxidation brings out richer, more mature fruit or honey-like aromas.

Lightly Oxidized Oolong (10%–25%): Examples like Wen Shan Baozhong and light-roast Tieguanyin showcase fresh floral and fruity scents.
Moderately Oxidized Oolong (25%–50%): Teas such as Phoenix Dan Cong and medium-roast Tieguanyin have a balanced profile, combining floral notes with hints of honey, fruit, or roasting, resulting in a complex aroma.
Heavily Oxidized Oolong (50%–70%): Classics like Da Hong Pao, Wuyi Rougui, and Oriental Beauty deliver mature fruit aromas, roasted or caramel-like notes, and a smooth, full-bodied brew.
This product includes four renowned oolong teas, all lightly roasted but with varying oxidation levels. It’s the perfect way to explore how different oxidation levels influence the flavor and aroma of oolong tea.

Some people are looking for caffeine-free green tea. While we currently don’t have any caffeine-free green tea, we’ve found some caffeine-free herbal teas that are made using green tea processing methods, so they share some similar flavor characteristics. These herbal teas have all been used in traditional Chinese medicine. They include the naturally sweet Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus), Rock Tea (Shi Ya Cha), which is rich in flavonoids, and Zhangjiajie Mei Tea, known for its high flavonoid content.

 Jin Qian Liu：Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus)
Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus) is a deciduous tree that grows in southern China. Its leaves are used to make tea, which is popular for its natural sweetness and various health benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, Sweet Tea Tree tea is used to support healthy blood sugar levels and is considered a natural way to help manage diabetes and promote heart health.

Wild Cliff Tea (Shi Ya Cha)
Rock Tea (Shi Ya Cha) is a rare tea that grows on the high-altitude cliffs of Guangxi, China. It’s harvested from wild tea trees that grow in the cracks of these rocky cliffs, where the soil is rich in nutrients. Known for its strong aroma and sweet taste, it’s often called “tea of the immortals.” Rock Tea is packed with flavonoids and is praised for its rich flavor, as well as its potential to boost immunity and aid digestion.

 Vine Tea 
 Vine Tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata) is a perennial vine primarily found in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. It thrives at elevations of 400-1500 meters, in misty, humid conditions and special quartz sandstone soil. Originally used as a traditional Tujia medicine, Zhangjiajie Mei Tea is rich in natural active flavonoids, with its young stems and leaves containing over 30% flavonoids on average, and the tender buds having as much as 43.78%. This is why it’s called the “King of Flavonoids.”

Introduction:

This collection offers a unique opportunity to explore the subtle differences in flavor, aroma, and texture created by three distinct tea tree varietals, all using the same harvesting grade: one bud and two leaves.

Though harvested and processed in the same way, each tea reflects its unique tree’s characteristics. This collection allows tea lovers to discover their preferred varietal of this classic green tea.

Someone asked, "I'm new to Chinese green tea and want to try some well-known varieties without compromising on quality." This collection is curated just for that. We've handpicked the top 4 out of China's 10 famous green teas: Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, and Lu'an Guapian. We've sourced these directly from authentic growers in the classic production areas, offering great value for money. Additionally, we've chosen high-altitude teas from seed-propagated group plantations and crafted by tea masters with over 20 years of experience. Each tea is a spring harvest from 2024. Here's a brief introduction to each:

Lu'an Guapian:  A Unique Green Tea 15g
Lu'an Guapian is a historic Chinese tea that was once a tribute to the royal family. This precious green tea still maintains its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor. Our gourmet Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a master with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf tea plants in Qi Mountain, Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Picked at the end of spring, the leaves are tender with a rich aroma and a refreshing taste. The end-of-spring tea is more affordable than early spring tea, with a more pronounced tea flavor and a slightly reduced aroma. Lu'an Guapian is picked by selecting only the second leaf from the bud and two leaves, discarding the stem and tender leaves, retaining the essence of the tea to ensure the purity and delicate freshness of the tea soup.

Biluochun: A Premium Green Tea from China 15g
Biluochun is one of China's most famous green teas, known for its high-temperature killing and initial pan-frying followed by slow low-temperature drying. Unlike Longjing's pan-frying, dried green tea has a distinct bean flavor, but Biluochun's frying aroma is not prominent, offering a more refreshing taste. This high-grade Biluochun has a slight floral and fruity fragrance, slightly sweet without bitterness, and abundant downy hairs. Despite its high grade and flavor, it's affordably priced because it's made from tea plants in Sichuan, not the authentic Dongting Biluochun from Suzhou, Zhejiang.

Huangshan Maofeng: A Delightful Green Tea 12g
Huangshan Maofeng represents the high-mountain green teas of China, grown from 60-year-old tea trees in loamy soil at an altitude of 800 meters. Crafted by experienced tea masters using traditional drying techniques, this tea offers a perfect balance of quality and value. It's rich in minerals and exudes a refreshing green tea aroma with a subtle orchid fragrance. Its sweet and gentle flavor is endlessly memorable, making it ideal for daily drinking, especially for those who prefer a sweet taste without bitterness. The spring-picked high-mountain leaves add to its unique sweet taste and soft texture.

Longjing: A Famous Green Tea 15g
We're committed to providing an authentic Longjing tea, different from the popular low-grade "machine-cut Longjing." Our tea is selected from the traditional Longjing variety in Lishui, Zhejiang, crafted semi-manually by Longjing masters with over 30 years of experience, combining traditional techniques with modern conveniences. We choose to pick our tea after Grain Rain and before the beginning of summer, when the flavor is similar to pre-Grain Rain tea, but more affordable. Our tea comes from high-altitude gardens (900-1000 meters), where the climate and altitude provide an environment similar to West Lake, ensuring superior quality and value.

Our Longjing tea is of a high grade, carefully selected from one bud and two leaves to one bud and three leaves, offering complete leaves in contrast to the machine-cut tea with more stems and incomplete leaves. Our goal is to offer a genuine variety and craftsmanship of high-quality Longjing tea at an entry-level price, ensuring every cup exudes the pure aroma and elegant taste of traditional Longjing
