Because the Art of Tea is about Good Taste! This is a rare find: Liu An Antique Black Tea aged for over half a century! The tea has been well stored and cared for over its lifetime. From the Anhui province, it is a close cousin to Pu-erh. This is not the ordinary black tea your mother would drink. The taste is incredibly smooth with no off-taste whatsoever. The brew is deep and dark. Known as a good digestive aid and helpful in warding off colds. Leaves can be infused over 3 or 4 times, and even more if more leaves are steeped. Due to the age and rarity of the tea, we are offering these antique leaves in precious one ounce packets. Pu-erh teas are aged before they are consumed, unlike other teas which are meant to be consumed shortly after production. Pu-erh teas are at least 1-4 years old, but can also be aged for more than 50 years! Over this time, Pu-erh teas ferment, which leads to their earthy flavor, as opposed to the flavor of oolong or black teas, which comes from oxidation. Pu-erh teas are unique among tea varieties because they do not lose qualities after a year or two, but rather gain in value, and are classified by connoisseurs by year of production. |
