This way loose tea can keep for a very long time. Also, nothing happens to the smell, color or taste for a very long time. Because tea is an unrefrigerated product, the shelf life is extra long.

Breathtaking aromas
Rou Gui oolong tea is a deeply warming and balanced tea with a mineral-rich taste and a strong aromatic scent of fruit (peach) and cinnamon which are so typical for these so-called "Rock Teas" (Yancha). The infusion has a deep orange color with a roasted, somewhat spicy and floral scent and aftertaste.
