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.

If you have sensitive skin and dont want premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option A+
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Cremo’s body wash for men has become a staple in our household. The product exudes a luxurious feel, from the rich lather to the clean, long-lasting scent that genuinely resembles a more expensive fragrance. This body wash possesses a pleasant aroma of cardamom, papyrus, and most notably, palo santo. It features a warm, woody, and spicy scent, which is one of my preferred fragrance notes. Notably, the scent is strong without being overpowering. Additionally, I appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the bottle. The exquisite and vintage-inspired packaging complements the fragrance effectively. What truly sets Cremo’s body wash apart is its gentle nature. I have sensitive skin and this body wash does not cause dryness or irritation. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, which is not always the case with other brands I have tried. The affordability of Cremo’s body wash is a significant advantage. It offers a high-end feel and fragrance without incurring excessive costs, making it an easy choice for repeat purchases. If you or your family have sensitive skin or simply desire a pleasant scent without paying premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option. Highly Recommended. 5/5 Stars.

Beat the Humidity with This Citrus Powerhouse
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
​In the middle of a brutal, humid Philippine summer, finding a body wash that actually boosts your confidence is a game-changer. Cremo’s Italian Bergamot isn’t just a soap; it’s a full olfactory experience. It opens with a vibrant, tart Italian bergamot that immediately cuts through the heat, followed by the freshness of vetiver, and the neroli blossom adds a sophisticated floral touch. ​True to Cremo’s Reserve collection, the scent is beautifully layered. It builds in intensity as you lather, allowing the earthy, fresh vetiver to anchor the citrus. Unlike many drugstore options, this lingers—stepping out of the shower, you can still catch the crisp citrus and the clean, woody dry-down on your skin. It’s the ultimate reset for a hot day.
