Hi Matt, look forwar...Thanks guys for your input! <br /><br />Hi Matt, look forward to see your article about aged whites! Before, in China, I barely saw any aged white tea in market at all. Just these two years, suddenly they come out! I am curious to see if they will generate a new market trend.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-38487355685910945902010-12-10T16:56:41.404-05:002010-12-10T16:56:41.404-05:00Gingko,

Usually when a tea is aged, it is processed in a way that allows the tea to develop new flavors and complexity. Since white tea is minimally processed, my question is whether it will store well over time keeping its properties rather than changing into something else. In my experience with Darjeeling white teas, they will still taste good after a couple of years if kept well. But, I wouldn't keep them with aging in mind.Ho Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296073483005184718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-83527302227946575172010-12-09T23:55:59.596-05:002010-12-09T23:55:59.596-05:00I like fresh white tea myself, consumed within a f...I like fresh white tea myself, consumed within a few months of being picked. It usually has a great spinach/watercress flavour to it, and I absolutely love that.Ruqyo Highsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210517193033102532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-41536656975182256912010-12-09T17:08:17.483-05:002010-12-09T17:08:17.483-05:00I'd be really skeptical of Bai Mu Dan aging we...I'd be really skeptical of Bai Mu Dan aging well. I've had a lot of bai mu dan, actually, which has been several years old which has <em>not</em> been good. But it could have just been stored improperly.<br /><br />But, from what I know, sheng Pu-erh ages so well, I think in large part because it's so incredibly strong to begin with.<br /><br />If I were going to age something not typically aged, I'd try a really strong tea. But who knows? I do like darker qualities in white tea, so maybe this would be worth trying?Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.com
