There is a saying in China: ‘one year - tea, three years - medicine, seven years – treasure’. In a nutshell this means teas aged from seven years upwards become a treasure pursued by enthusiasts. Because the longer they are stored, the richer and mellower they become. Most aged white teas are 5-6 years old, so teas aged for 10-20 years old are very rare; and only grown in ancient tea tree forests of Fuding and Zhenghe in Fujian province. Crafted to the highest standards by masters following traditional skills passed on to them; and all behind closed doors to protect their precious secrets.
