Plum Bridge Laocong Shuixian 2024 – Zhengyan
55.00€
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2024
Origin – Mei Zi Qiao, Wuyishan, Zhengyan
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 “bush flavor”. The flavor of laocong is not strongly fragrant or bright, its understated and elegant leaving a smooth sweetness in the aftertaste.
I think of the experience of drinking Laocong Shuixian as walking into an imaginary old bookstore, with a warm light filtering through the windows, old wood panels and a peaceful cozy energy.
Coming from an excellent location in the zhengyan area and well processed, our Plum Bridge Laocong 2024 is a delightful experience with subtle woody notes, clear congwei, and complex tea aromatics. Smooth, cosy and flavourful.
Not a loud tea but one to sit down with and slowly experience and get lost in.
Price is for 50 g.

Rougui 2024
15.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2024

Rougui is one of the most iconic and best selling Yancha cultivars and for good reason. Combining depth of flavor and aromatics that can change and reflect specific terroirs, each Rougui hits different.
Our 2024 Rougui is excellent; the dark, herbaceous aromatics of the material shining through a clean, medium roast. Sweet, rich, and smooth on the finish. Simply a very tasty and satisfying yancha.
Rougui is always in season.

Tieluohan 2024

Our Tieluohan 2024 is a dark and comfortable tea with a classic taste. The intense roasted notes give the tea a rich flavour without resulting unbalanced or harsh, leaving only a smooth aftertaste that lingers.
No flashy florals, no unnecessary complexity. Just a solid, roasted Yancha for those who like it warm and cosy.

White Cloud Temple Laocong Shuixian 2024 – Zhengyan
48.00€
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2024
Origin – Bai Yun Si, Wuyishan, Zhengyan
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 “bush flavor”. The flavor of laocong is not strongly fragrant or bright, its understated and elegant leaving a smooth sweetness in the aftertaste.
I think of the experience of drinking Laocong Shuixian as walking into an imaginary old bookstore, with a warm light filtering through the windows, old wood panels and a peaceful cozy energy.
Coming from the south part of the Zhengyan area, the laocong here grow along a trail that leads to Baiyunsi (White Cloud Temple), a Buddhist temple built on the cliffs. Originally managed by the Buddhist nun who organized villagers to rebuild the temple in 80s, it is now managed by her family. This area has typical Zhengyan features, with thin layer of pink soil from broken rocks, and lush local plants that become nutrients for the tea trees that get few hours of direct sunlight. Every two years, the weeds are cut and buried in the soil in late autumn to become compost.
The flavour is elegant and restrained. With two charcoal roasts, it is thick and smooth, expressing a clear congwei and a long lasting sweetness as more brews are made.
