Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2022
Origin – High altidude area, Wuyishan
The characteristic of Laocong Shuixian (old bush shuixian) is that is picked only from older trees and this gives it a silky smooth mouthfeel and a special flavor called Congwei, meaning the flavor of bushes. I describe the experience of drinking Laocong Shuixian as walking into an imaginary old bookstore, with a warm and cozy feeling and fragrance.
This Laocong is from a very nice area in the higher elevation parts of Wuyishan near Tongmuguan. The flavor is intense with the clear Shuixian character and aromatics enriched by the congwei of older bushes as well as a dark, woody and herbal sweetness. It reminds me a bit of chewing a herbal candy. The processing is more on the balanced side with a medium charcoal roast that leaves a lot of space to the tea flavors lingering in the long aftertaste.
A tea that is always enjoyable for a richer session of one that can be compared to other Shuixian available for those wanting to explore this cultivar more in depth.
Price is for 50 g.
