This tea was ordered by a Malaysian tea master in 2000 for sale in the teahouse he was running at the time. It has been stored in Malaysia since then in very clean conditions.
It has aged nicely, with a smokey edge transforming nicely into aged camphor flavours. From drinking it, it’s obvious that there’s both leaves from old and young trees, but with a decent proportion of old trees in the mix. It is thick in the mouth and throat, with deep flavours and a very long aftertaste. This tea is pretty powerful and still has room to age. It is better brewed lightly to control the astringency that is still present.
