Secretly Telling You: Aged Tea is Better

Tea News · Jun 27, 2025

In recent years, aged tea has gradually gained popularity among the public, with more and more people starting to enjoy drinking aged tea. What exactly does aged tea offer? Why are people increasingly fond of drinking aged tea? Below, let's find the answers together!!

Aged white tea—most effective for reducing heat and inflammation

As the saying goes, "One year of tea, three years of medicine, seven years of treasure." A sip of aged white tea leaves an unforgettable impression with its unique, smooth taste. Beyond its flavor, its benefits are exceptional. It is particularly effective in reducing heat and inflammation, as aged white tea can regulate cellular immune functions, reduce inflammatory factors, and enhance the body's ability to clear damaging elements. Experts have compared new white tea with aged white tea and found that the longer the tea ages, the better its anti-inflammatory effects.

 


 

Aged Tieguanyin—mellow, smooth, clear, and refreshing

Aged Tieguanyin is a premium variety among tea leaves. After baking and cooling, it is sealed and stored in stone-wood cellars, where it remains unaffected by extreme temperatures. Over time, a series of chemical changes occur, enriching the tea with concentrated essences, resulting in a notably "mellow, smooth, clear, and refreshing" taste, with a lingering sweetness and deep aroma.

 


 

Aged Pu-erh—gentle on the stomach

After being processed into Pu-erh tea, the tea gradually ferments over time, reducing its initial sharpness while enhancing its aroma, deepening the tea's color, and smoothing its taste. Thus, the longer the fermentation period, the better the Pu-erh tea. Newly produced Pu-erh tea can be harsh on the stomach, especially for those with gastric issues, whereas Pu-erh aged over five years is gentle. Fresh Pu-erh has a bitter and numbing taste, while aged Pu-erh is mellow and smooth, strengthening blood vessel elasticity, preventing toxin buildup, and offering mild diuretic effects to reduce swelling and uric acid.

 


 

Aged rock tea—aids digestion and weight loss

Aged rock tea, when brewed, releases a rich aroma with distinct woody and aged notes. Its liquor is bright red and translucent, resembling aged red wine. The tea is smooth and full-bodied, leaving a lubricating and thirst-quenching sensation with a pronounced aftertaste. The astringency of new tea is entirely absent. Aged tea is highly durable, remaining flavorful even after multiple infusions and becoming sweeter with each brew. It warms the stomach, dispels cold, aids digestion, promotes weight loss, and soothes the mind.

Newly produced Wuyi rock tea is best stored for six months to a year before drinking, as its flavor and aroma improve. After five years or more of aging, the tea not only maintains its quality but also develops a richer and mellower taste.

 


 

Aged dark tea—cleanses the digestive system and reduces the three highs

Dark tea is a post-fermented tea, and the longer it is stored, the more its pile-fermentation flavor transforms or diminishes, mellowing its taste and improving its harmony. Beyond the general health benefits of dark tea, aged dark tea is notable for its medicinal properties, which improve with time. Many studies show that after long-term storage, the compounds in dark tea undergo changes, promoting blood circulation, relieving bloating, preventing atherosclerosis, and reducing blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar, as well as offering anti-cancer properties.
