Description

Wild Aged White Tea Cake Year 2008Wild Aged White Tea Cake 2008 is a Fujian white tea made from wild tea tree leaves, naturally aged for over sixteen years. Wild tea trees grow without cultivation or pesticides, and their leaves tend to carry more depth and complexity than farmed tea. After sixteen years of careful storage, this cake has developed a soft, full bodied character with sugarcane like sweetness and a bright, clear liquor. The tea is compressed into a traditional cake shape

Wild Aged White Tea Cake 2008 is a Fujian white tea made from wild tea tree leaves, naturally aged for over sixteen years. Wild tea trees grow without cultivation or pesticides, and their leaves tend to carry more depth and complexity than farmed tea. After sixteen years of careful storage, this cake has developed a soft, full-bodied character with sugarcane-like sweetness and a bright, clear liquor.

The tea is compressed into a traditional cake shape — you break off a piece for each session. This is one of those teas that rewards patience: it brews well for 12 infusions or more with gongfu method, and each infusion shows you something a bit different.

How it tastes

The liquor brews bright and clear despite its age. You'll notice sugarcane sweetness first, followed by a soft, rounded body that coats your mouth gently. There's none of the astringency you might expect — sixteen years has smoothed everything out. Later infusions bring out more depth and a lingering finish.

A note from Joanne: "This is the tea I bring out for visitors who ask 'what's the most interesting white tea you have?' The wild tree leaves give it a character that's hard to describe until you taste it. Many of our customers start with the 2012 Aged White Tea and then come back curious about something older — this is where that path leads. 

茶气 (chá qì):This is also one of those teas where you can experience what Chinese tea drinkers call 茶气 (chá qì) — tea energy. If you brew it quietly and pay attention to your body, you may notice a gentle warmth rising from inside, not from the hot water but from the tea itself. It's a subtle sensation — your palms might warm up, your back might feel a soft flush. Experienced tea drinkers look for this quality, and it's one reason aged teas from old trees are so valued. If you practise meditation, tai chi or qigong, you'll recognise it as a kind of internal energy. Not everyone notices it on the first session, but when you do, it changes how you think about tea."

Tea profile

Taste: Bright and clear, sugarcane sweetness, soft body
Type: Aged White Tea (Cake)
Origin: Fujian Province, China
Material: Wild tea tree leaves, compressed cake
Harvest: 2008
No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.

Brewing instructions

Western brewing: 2.5g per 400ml teapot. 95°C water. Steep 3 minutes — up to 3 infusions.

Gongfu brewing: 5g per 150ml teapot. Pre-warm the vessel. 95°C water, steep 30–40 seconds for the first 4 infusions, add 10 seconds from the fifth. Up to 12 infusions.

Try this: After 2–3 infusions, transfer the wet leaves to a heat-resistant kettle and boil for 3 minutes. This draws out richer flavours and a rounder mouthfeel — well worth the extra step.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. White tea continues to evolve in storage, so this cake will keep developing if properly kept.


If you'd like to try aged white tea at a lower price point first, our 2012 Aged White Tea ($35) gives you a taste of what ageing does to white tea.

Not this one
Color: 1B Off Black
After buying my first Outre wig I have bought several since until I bought this particular one and I was disappointed from the moment I open the package. The look, texture, fullness, or lack of fullness was very disappointing. The wig only cost 30.00 dollars but had I bought it in a wig shop it probably would have cost much more, but when you order online that is a chance that you take. I wouldn't recommend this particular wig if you are looking for the look that the picture portrays. Try one of Outre's others.

Doesn’t last long
Color: DR HAZELNUT BROWN, Color: DR HAZELNUT BROWN
I love a synthetic wavy wig but this one didn’t even last the entire weekend like most do. Look very cute the first day but after that it just didn’t do what I needed it to do any

All eyes on you!
Color: DR2GDNHN, Color: DR2GDNHN
I didn't love this wig straight out of the box but after trimming the wig to frame my face and brushing out the curls (I love big hair), I absolutely fell in love with this unit. I've received so many compliments. Wig does tangle but after applying product the curl pattern returns. Will definitely purchase again!

Gorgeous wig, big head friendly
Color: 1B Off Black
I loved this wig, I have a huge head and have to return now wigs I buy. But this was a keeper, it's synthetic so don't go crazy expecting human hair realness. In the sense that it will tangle in the nape. I detailed and then cut off the undesirables. But for the prize, it worked as half wig with a headband. For the price you can't beat it. I gelled the front alittle and I looked like Selena. Lol if you know the reference then you know. But it looked great with a headband. I wore it on vacation it wasn't too hot, it wasn't exactly cool either. But it was good. For the price I'm buying a few more in other colors. I didn't make it a ponytail yet but that up next.
