Description
Zhen Yan Lao Cong Shui Xian (Ancient Bush) Oolong Tea embodies restrained luxury and patient lineage. Grown on the ancient tea groves of Wuyi, where primordial cliffs meet mineral-rich gravel, these leaves trace their ancestry to trees long revered by connoisseurs. Each harvest is painstakingly selected to honor the old-bush heritage, delivering a tea that wears its provenance with quiet confidence. The result is a rare, collectible silhouette of time, meant to be savored with the care it deserves.
From these origins, the sensory map unfolds: dry leaves thick, corded strands with a silvery frost signaling maturity; the aroma is forest floor in autumn—wet bark, sun-warmed rocks, and a hint of dried kelp. The liquor is luminous topaz, with a texture like melted amber across the tongue. The flavor journey reveals stewed apricot skins on first sip, birch sap sweetness at mid-palate, and a lingering Cong Yun—the resonant voice of the ancient bush that endure in the afterglow. Limited batches ensure ongoing exclusivity and timeless collector appeal.
