Story of Aged White Tea (2012):
Aged white tea is a unique category of white tea that has been carefully stored and allowed to mature over time. This particular tea, harvested in 2012, has been aged for over a decade, resulting in a complex and satisfying flavour profile. The aging process allows the tea to develop deep, earthy notes while still retaining the delicate, smooth characteristics of white tea. Aged white tea is considered a rare and special treat among tea enthusiasts, with each year of aging adding depth and complexity to its flavour.

Aged White Tea 2012 (Lao Bai Cha)
Best white tea I have had. Light and smooth.
Amazingly smooth flavour, brings me back to Tasmania every time I have a brew!
A staff on Salamanca Market mentioned that this tea can be boiled. Skeptical, I tried it and was pleasantly surprised by the pronounced Chinese dry date flavour. It elevated the entire experience!
Love how this white tea is naturally sweet with a lower caffeine content. I often have it after dinner, and it never interferes with my sleep.

Aged White Tea 2012 (Lao Bai Cha)
My friend purchased this tea on a recent trip to Tasmania and had me try some. I purchased my own that very day. This tea is a hug in a cup. A tea for the soul. The lavender is not overpowring but is there enough to know it is a lavender tea. No matter how long you steep it for, it does not go bitter. My absolute favourite tea i have ever tried.

Got this beautiful tea pot for my birthday - with soul, personality and brilliant functionality - I very much recommend this teapot! It’s a great size for 1 or 2 and the glass strainer works so well and is easy to clean. Not to mention, the customer service (according to my mum who bought it for me) has been extremely accomodating and the people extra kind. Thanks!!!
The rice accord in this has me obsessed - such a smooth, rich, and cozy experience! I haven't come across anything else like this is Hobart.
Every detail - from the tea itself to the packaging and shop - feels so intentional and thoughtfully crafted.
I'm sure all the other teas are just as lovely, can't wait to try them all!
I have not received my tea!!!!
I absolutely the Jasmine Dragon Pearls/ Buddhas Tears. I have a very sensitive tummy and often struggle to unwind after a long workday.With this amazing tea , it’s such so tasteful and light and ooh so refreshing and relaxing. I’ve tried so many different teas but this is my all time favourite.
This is probably one of my favourite teas, so delicious!
Good quality product but the container cover needs improvement., easily loose and not air tight .
I'd never thought to combine Puerh with lavender, but this makes for a very soothing flavour combination. The calming lavender and earthy puerh feels very 'Tasmanian'. I'm looking forward to trying more teas here.
Such a lovely, sweet, smooth tea.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears
I know it's a big call but it's true - it's my favourite tea ever. I tried it on a retreat in Tasmania and fell in love. Look forward to my little daily cup! Love the earthy flavour
A very special tea gift - beautiful to watch bloom and lovely to drink
