Huangguanyin Fragrance 2021
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2021
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan
Huangguanyin is a cultivar that is gaining many fans every year mainly thanks to its nice aromatics. Some describe it as having also a sweet milky aroma.
Huangguanyin Fragrance 2021 is a tea that expresses well the cultivar character and the fragrance naturally present in the tea leaves.
The tea is well processed in the “fragrance” style of lighter roasting. Refreshing and light to drink, with bright floral aromatics and a slight astringency in the later steeps. A bright day of spring in a cup.

Metamorphosis Laocong Shuixian 2020 – Zhengyan
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2020
Origin – Huan Gu Yan, Zhengyan
This is one of the most complex, deep and fulfilling teas we have for sale. A rich and calming experience that only laocong shuixian can offer, and only lacong shuixian of this level. Smooth, full of congwei flavor this tea can be brewed many times with a deep, cozy charcoal roasting and a sweet aftertaste.
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 aromatics I would never want to leave.
We recommend this tea to experienced drinkers and suggest to try boiling it.

Lion Mount Shuixian 2020 – Zhengyan
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2020
Origin – Lion Mountain Peak, Zhengyan
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.
Coming from a very nice area in the protected scenic area known as Zhengyan, this medium roasted tea brings intense flavors that evolve during the session. It comes from normal Shuixian bushes giving it a clear Shuixian character that is enriched by the terroir notes of so called yanyun. The first brews especially are some of the more complex and layered with yun and, as usual, we recommend saving a bit of the very first infusion to drink at room temperature at the end. As the session progresses the intense shuixian aromatics emerge with a more floral and sweet finish.
Price is for 50 g.
