Cha Zhi Ji Wuyi Rock Tea – Lao Cong Shui Xian (老丛水仙, 5-Year Aged, 8g x 12 Sachets)

Cha Zhi Ji Wuyi Rock Tea – Lao Cong Shui Xian (老丛水仙, 5-Year Aged)

Lao Cong Shui Xian is a prestigious varietal of Wuyi Rock Tea crafted from tea trees aged at least 70 years or older. These unpruned, tall bush tea trees yield leaves imbued with deep-rooted minerality and a signature woody-floral profile.

🌿 Aged Depth with Distinct "Cong Wei"

This 5-year-aged tea delivers a stable, mellow intensity only found in old arbor material. The signature orchid fragrance (品种香) blends naturally with aged woody notes and peach-like ripe fruit sweetness that emerges through time. The result is what seasoned drinkers call “wood broth” — a thick, smooth, and soothing sensation.

🍵 Fragrance: Variety Meets Craft

As a Shui Xian varietal, this tea offers both natural floral aroma from its genetics and subtle caramelized stone fruit notes from expert roasting (工艺香). The craftsmanship preserves the base orchid notes while enhancing depth through moderate fermentation and charcoal firing.

🫙 Packaging & Format

Presented in a classic tin, this tea includes 12 sachets of 8g each, perfect for travel, gifting, or precise brewing. The tea brews a deep amber liquor, smooth and sweet with persistent aroma and returning sweetness (回甘).
