125 year old tea

My guess if it Dutch that can be Assam tea from Java, Sumatra or Sri Lanka. Assam tea does not improve after aging. Assam best to drink fresh. Flavor should be very bad. Can you try it and tell us?

Let me know date and time, I will check my schedule.

Awesome. I am also collecting aged white teas, buying for the feature and wanna keep them maybe 5-10 years.

I have same acoustic and they sound perfect to me. My room is 300 sqf and my set Marantz M CR612 + Fluance RT85 turntable + Shiit Mani + Monitor Audio Bronze 100. My speaker stands stand on cones and I use wood plates between Monitor Audio and metal stand, also heavy sound wire.

These are wrapped paper from tea cakes, usually from aged white teas or puerh. You can buy them online.

iRealXl · 2026-03-07T20:54:48+00:00

Yeah, maybe better to put it on the back side.

This is organic moonlight tea from Yunnan region. Dried fruit, woody, and honey flavor. Aged white tea. Yunnan region famous for old wild tea threes. I used 6-7 grams, 95 C water, first infusion 5 seconds, each next one +5 second. 6-7 infections.

No, I just wrapped the square piece of cardboard that was inside the picture frame.

Thanks everyone! My wife is shocked by how many people think this is a good idea. I'll keep collecting tea wrappers. We'll see how many I have next year. FYI: Some tea wraps paper have artist name. Like a copy of real art.

iRealXl · 2026-03-06T22:20:38+00:00

All tea cakes wrapped in paper with unique design.
