Details
- Pluck Standard
- Depends on the original variety. For aging, quality raw material with potential for evolution is selected — typically medium- and heavily oxidized oolongs.
- Name Breakdown
- „Lao“ (老) – alt, gereift; „Cha“ (茶) – Tee; „Wang“ (王) – König. „Alter Teekönig“ unterstreicht die Exklusivität und den höchsten Status unter gereiften Tees.
- Alkaloids
- Caffeine is preserved (~2–3%); theobromine, theophylline.
- Amino Acids
- Part of L-theanine degrades, but new compounds appear, responsible for complex "mature" sweetness.
- Essential Oils
- Composition transforms; fresh floral notes are replaced by spicy, woody, "balsamic" ones.
- Minerals
- Potassium, fluorine, magnesium, manganese, iron — are preserved.
