Aged oolong tea reveals a unique dimension of tea character—how time transforms aroma, texture, and depth.

This collection brings together five vintages of traditionally charcoal-roasted Minnan Shui Xian, spanning from 1994 to 2024. All teas come from the same tea-making lineage, allowing time—not origin or craftsmanship—to be the only variable.

Fresh teas express bright orchid aroma and lively sweetness. As the tea ages, floral notes gradually fade, giving way to deeper woody, honeyed, and herbal tones. With decades of transformation, the tea develops a smoother texture, thicker body, and a long, lingering finish.

Rather than a single flavor, this set offers a journey through time—revealing how oolong tea evolves across 30 years of natural aging.

Taste them side by side and experience how time becomes a flavor.
