1972 Vintage Ali Shan Lao Cha - Aged Taiwanese Oolong Tea - Small Batch

This tea makes a perfect gift for the discerning tea lover or a well-deserved treat for yourself.

Ali Shan Lao Cha 1972 Vintage is an exceptionally aged Taiwanese oolong that has been traditionally re-roasted over decades to develop its remarkable depth and character. Unlike fresh mountain oolongs, time has transformed this tea into something entirely its own - warm, complex, and beautifully layered.

The tightly rolled leaves produce a rich amber-red infusion with notes of dried stone fruit, toasted rice, roasted nuts, and a delicate hint of cocoa. Its smooth, mellow profile unfolds over multiple infusions, revealing the craftsmanship and care that define traditionally aged Taiwanese teas.

Carefully stored in glazed clay jars and periodically re-roasted, this tea showcases the elegant complexity that only time can create.
