Old Days (AKA Aged Shui Xian)

Type: Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea Origin: Wuyi Mountains, Fujian China Eucalyptus, Charcoal, Sour plum Old Days are made from the broken leaves of a strong, roasted Wuyi Shui Xian Rock Oolong. Pressed into blocks and aged for more than 10 years, the strong roasted notes that were originally present in this tea have mellowed out, making for an easy-to-drink everyday tea. PREPARATION NOTES Gong-Fu style (preferred method) 5g per 60 – 100ml of water 93 – 95 degrees Celsius 10 – 15 secs per infusion* (up to 8 infusions) *First infusion is a quick 3 – 5 sec rinse and isn't drunk. Teapot steep 5g per 300ml of water 93 – 95 degrees Celsius 2.5 – 3mins (2 – 3 infusions) STORAGE Proper tea storage is super important. Improper storage leads to flat, flavourless and potentially weird tasting tea. So as a rule of thumb, keep your tea leaves in an airtight container (the less air inside the better) and away from heat, light, moisture and strong odours.
