Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2025
Origin – Ma Su, High Mountain, 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 “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.
This Laocong is from the area of Masu, in the higher part of the Wuyishan range, inside the Tongmuguan Unesco protected natural area. The tea has a rich and complex flavor, with the strong aromatics filling the cup with the characteristic congwei. The roast is balanced and not very strong providing just a backdrop for the rich flavors coming out of the leaves. Drinking laocong is always an experience that goes a bit beyond the simple delicious flavor of the tea, it is a state of mind that calms the senses and fills your soul with the woody and calm character of this tea.
An intense tea for more focused and slow sessions.
Price is for 50 g.
