Top Grade Wuyi Shui Xian - Zheng Yan (Over 50 Years Old)

This Top Grade Laocong Shui Xian is crafted for tea drinkers who appreciate the deep, traditional character of classic Wuyi rock oolong tea. Made from leaves harvested from 50+ year-old tea trees growing in the Zhengyan region near Yunu Peak — one of the well-known scenic and tea-growing areas within the core Wuyi Mountain terroir — this tea expresses the distinctive old bush character that Shui Xian is prized for.

Compared with younger tea trees, Laocong Shui Xian develops a fuller body, deeper texture, and more layered flavor profile. The tea features pronounced woody and mossy aromas, accompanied by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and the grounded mineral depth characteristic of authentic Wuyi Yancha. Gentle roasting adds warmth and structure without overpowering the tea’s natural complexity.

Rich, mellow, and deeply expressive, this traditional Wuyi rock tea is ideal for those who enjoy wood notes and the bold, mature character of old bush oolong teas.
