all teas can be kept for aging...though not every one will fair well with age.

Yes indeed, I have been dabbling in aged oolongs now for 3 years.. But be warned, they are hit and miss.

I think with oolong you really need to keep it away from humidity and airflow which is quite a bit different from how people age puerh...I have 1kg of dancong I´m aging split between two air tight tins that the tea farmer provided...it´s been almost 2 years since the harvest and I tasted a small sample this Christmas...so far so good the peachy/lychee aroma seems to have amplified a bit....I´m excited to see what will happen in the coming years

btw...I have even seen aged green and white teas...you can age any kind of tea successfully as long as you can prevent the loss of flavour and aroma...though it probably won´t appeal to people who like the freshly harvested flavours

I actually can´t stand most green teas until they´ve sat for at least 6 months...while most green tea drinkers are obsessed with getting the freshest greenest tea possible...
