1985 Anxi Benshan Tie Guanyin – Aged 40 Years

A rare gem from another era, this aged Tie Guanyin is a living testament to the beauty of time and tradition. Crafted in 1985 using the Benshan cultivar and processed in the old way, it has been carefully stored and aged for 40 years—slowly developing the depth, warmth, and quiet strength that only time can impart.

Heavily roasted and full-bodied, it opens with a deep, rich sweetness and a mellow, grounded presence. The flavor is sweet, mature, and expansive—unfolding slowly with each steep. There’s a grounded fruitiness here, layered and complex, evoking the slow, lingering warmth of a fine scotch.

Yet beneath that depth, there’s still clarity—a brightness that speaks to the care and skill behind its original crafting. Each infusion reveals something new: smooth, dark, and quietly vibrant.

This is not an everyday tea—it’s an experience. A rare and remarkable expression of aged Tie Guanyin, steeped in history and perfected through patience.
