Plum Bridge Laocong Shuixian 2023 – Zhengyan
60.00€
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
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 the flavor of bushes. 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.
As soon as I drink the first brew from this Plum Bridge it feels like the universe is slowing down for a moment which reminds me why I like Laocong. The flavor is not strongly fragrant or bright, it is more woody and understated and leaves a balanced sweetness in the aftertaste. The roast and processing is and the tea shine for those who appreciate its subtle qualities.
A tea to drink slowly and appreciate, not for every day, not for everyone.

Shengtai Huangdan 2023
19.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan
Shengtai means something like biodiversity. This style of farming is a bit different from the usual. In 2021, the farmer took what was a previously normal tea garden and decided to grow tea avoiding any kind of pesticides and herbicides, just letting the tea garden grow in a more “wild” way. The only product used is a fertilizer derived from rape seeds.
This Huangdan has a tasty roasted flavor with a nice sweetness in the aftertaste. It is balanced with roasty notes but floral aromatics that emerge more in the later steeps. Smooth, not overly complex, a nice tea for any occasion.
