Lao Cong Shui Xian Rock Oolong

A Rare Old-Bush Oolong from Niulan Keng, Wuyi Mountain

This premium Lao Cong Shui Xian oolong comes from Niulan Keng, one of the most prestigious valleys in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian — a region celebrated for producing legendary Wuyi rock teas (Yancha).

“Lao Cong” refers to old tea bushes that may be several decades old, whose deeper root systems absorb the mineral character of the mountain soil. These mature plants produce teas with richer aroma, deeper flavour, and the distinctive woody fragrance known among tea masters as “cong flavour.”

Carefully roasted using traditional Wuyi techniques, this Shui Xian reveals a beautifully layered profile combining floral notes, woody depth, and lingering sweetness.

Flavour Experience

With each infusion you may notice:

• Elegant floral fragrance
• Deep woody and roasted undertones
• Smooth, full-bodied texture
• A long mineral-sweet finish

As the leaves open during brewing, the flavour gradually evolves and becomes more complex.

Perfect For

✔ Gongfu tea sessions and tea appreciation
✔ Discovering authentic Wuyi rock tea
✔ Elegant hospitality or VIP service
✔ Premium gifts for tea enthusiasts

Its depth and complexity make it especially valued by experienced tea drinkers.
