The Lord of Aged Tea from the island of Taiwan
Lao Chawan serenely keeps Taiwan's tea traditions as an impartial reflection in the mirror. Bushes of various varieties of oolongs growing on mountain tops give connoisseurs not only delicate, warm, floral aromas and tastes in slowly and beautifully opening leaves but also are able to surprise and even amaze - you just have to look at tea from a different angle to the tea-grower love.
The manufacturing techniques of the Lord of Aged Tea consist in regular roasting of the finished tea at intervals of 1-2 years, in the intervals between which the roasted oolong is carefully kept in a sealed container. Traditionally, oolong tea acquires the title of Prince of Aged Tea only after 10 years of storage and roasting.
