  • La description:
    La particularité du Lao Cong (Old Bush) Shui Xian réside principalement dans le mot « Lao » (Old) qui fait référence aux vieux théiers de plus de 50 ans.
    Le processus du Lao Cong Shui Xian est le même que celui des autres variétés de thé Wuyi Rock Oolong.
    Pourquoi d'autres thés Wuyi Rock Oolong, tels que Da Hong Pao, Rougui, Chelan, etc., n'ont-ils pas une telle expression ?
    La raison principale est liée aux cultivars de thé.
    Shui Xian appartient à la petite tonnelle, tandis que les types d'arbustes tels que Da Hong Pao et Rougui ont rarement la saveur du vieux sapin.
  • Quelqu'un a dit que l'ancienne saveur de sapin était une saveur de mousse verte, et certains ont dit que c'était du bois.
  • Si je me laisse décrire le goût de ce thé, je préférerais le bois et la douce saveur du sapin, à la fois charmants à sentir et à boire.

Favorite oolong tea

This tea is excellent quality - smooth, lovely amber color, very full bodied with a good substance to it.
I can get about 8 good cups out of one tea ball full, steeping no more that 2 minutes per brew.
Also lovely iced.

Great "Roasted" Oolong! That should be added to the title of product!

This is by far one of my favorite go to tea everytime. The flavor is aromatic with dark roasted during and after taste. I would highly recommend if you like a strong and dark oolong. I use purified water that's boiled to 195 degrees F and steep for about 30 seconds (1 teaspoon/200 ml)

Im no expert but this is my favorite thus far

I have been ordering Different Loose leaf Oolong teas for the past few month. Im no expert but this is my favorite thus far ...just reordered it from two different venders it came from same place via mail Direct from China it only takes about a week....this has a very nice strong flavor with hint of smoke without the bitter aftertaste...comes in a nice ornamental container you can sit out vs the loose big bag that tend to fall over and spill.

The best oolong

Actually, I don't know if Wuyi Oolong is the best, I just know that it's the best oolong I've ever had. It strikes me as expensive, but it's a price I'm will to pay, and in fairness one tin last a long time. I usually say that Wuyi Oolong is only hand harvested by virgins on nights with a full moon, which explains the cost. If I'm wrong on this last point don't tell me, I want to keep the mystery alive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Lao Cong Shui Xian different from other oolong teas?
Lao Cong Shui Xian is made from leaves harvested from ancient trees over 90 years old in Wuyi Mountain, offering a highly prized mossy and woodsy Cong Wei note, with a complex flavour profile that reflects its old-growth origins.
How should I prepare Lao Cong Shui Xian to best enjoy its flavors?
For optimal flavor, steep Lao Cong Shui Xian using water just below boiling temperature and enjoy it in a controlled infusion that highlights its floral, honey, and mineral notes, allowing the complex aroma and taste to fully develop.
What are the key qualities of Lao Cong Shui Xian that tea connoisseurs appreciate?
Tea connoisseurs value Lao Cong Shui Xian for its mossy/woodsy Cong Wei notes, the soft and broad body with delicate orchid aroma, and its long-lasting floral aftertaste, all stemming from the aged bushes and traditional processing methods.
Where does Lao Cong Shui Xian originate from, and what is its terroir?
Lao Cong Shui Xian originates from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China, specifically from old-growth tea bushes in the Banyan area, known for its stony, mineral-rich soil that imparts the tea’s distinctive 'rock' taste.
How does the age of the tea bushes affect the flavor of Lao Cong Shui Xian?
The over 90-year-old tea bushes used for Lao Cong Shui Xian produce leaves that yield a tea with a softer, more delicate sweetness, a slippery throat feel, and a more refined aroma compared to teas made from younger bushes.
