Daydream Laocong Shuixian 2022
60.00€
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.

Shengtai Shuixian 2023
19.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan
Shuixian is one of the most popular cultivars in Yancha. The leaves of Shuixian are slightly bigger than most yancha varieties and it is considered to have a soft and comfortable character combined with nice aromatics.
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 Shuixian is very nice to drink, with a sweet roasted aroma that starts from the dry leaves and keeps going in the cup. The mouth feel is smooth and light and the roasted notes blend well with the tea character with a mildly sweet finish. The flavor is very balanced without any off flavor making an elegant and tasty tea good for any occasion.

Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2022
Origin – High elevation area, Wuyishan
Rougui is one of the most beloved Yancha cultivars combining depth of flavor and powerful aromatics that can change and reflect specific terroirs making each Rougui special. This Rougui is from a very good higher elevation area of Wuyishan.
This Rougui has an intense flavor with powerful sweetness, depth and complexity. From the first sip this tea hits me with a cozy and deep state of mind that makes tea drinking a special experience and time slow down.
A reminder of how great tea doesn’t require any additional stories about famous locations or processing to be enjoyed.
Not the right of tea for every occasion, not the kind of tea for everyone. The perfect tea for the right occasion and the right people.
La Nature est un temple où de vivants piliers
Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles;
L’homme y passe à travers des forêts de symboles
Qui l’observent avec des regards familiers.
