Is Aged White Tea Over 15 Years Still Drinkable? Market Analysis by Tea Experts
一、老白茶市场现状分析 / Market Status of Aged White Tea
在当前白茶市场火爆的背景下，政和本地白茶企业仍以销量和清空库存为首要任务。十多年前，市场尚未形成喝老白茶的概念，厂家没有储存老白茶的习惯。2005年左右，受普洱茶"越陈越香"热潮影响，部分茶企开始尝试留存白茶样品。
In today's booming white tea market, Zhenghe local white tea companies still prioritize sales and inventory clearance. Over a decade ago, the concept of drinking aged white tea hadn't emerged, and manufacturers had no habit of storing it. Around 2005, influenced by the Pu'er tea trend of "improving with age", some tea companies began experimenting with white tea samples.
二、15年以上老白茶的存量 / Inventory of White Tea Over 15 Years
从当年政和白茶厂家的经营习惯来看，如今市面上可能有10-15年的老白茶，但数量不多。15年以上的老白茶存量主要来自：香港回流、泉州出口积压、海外少量回流以及政和、福鼎等地的民间存量。
Based on historical business practices, there may be 10-15 year old white tea on the market today, but in limited quantities. White tea over 15 years mainly comes from: Hong Kong returns, Quanzhou export backlogs, small overseas returns, and private collections in Zhenghe, Fuding, etc.
三、老白茶价格走势 / Price Trends of Aged White Tea
从2008年的500元/箱(10年以上)到2011年的1000元/斤，再到如今15年老白上万元的价格，老白茶原料价格持续上涨。物以稀为贵是市场规律，但部分茶企的"创新"营销手法值得警惕。
Prices have risen from 500 RMB/box (10+ years) in 2008 to 1,000 RMB/jin in 2011, and now over 10,000 RMB for 15-year-old tea. While rarity increases value, some companies' "innovative" marketing tactics raise concerns.
四、老白茶拼配问题 / Blending Issues in Aged White Tea
拼配本是传统工艺，但部分商家用新料拼老料却不标明，包装上直接标注"十年陈"、"二十年陈"等，这种行为涉嫌造假。消费者应选择信誉良好的商家，警惕过度包装的老白茶产品。
Blending is traditional, but some merchants mix new and old tea without labeling, directly marking "10-year aged" or "20-year aged" on packaging. Consumers should choose reputable sellers and beware of over-packaged products.
