Introduction: |
The Lao Cong Shui Xian (Lao Cong means old tree in Chinese) was produced using tea leaves picked from tea trees of more than 100 years old in Fo Guo Yan, one of the famous Wuyi Zhengyan areas. It is believed that tea made of the tea leaves from these old trees has exceptional medicinal qualities, being able to soothe the body and mind, in addition to the ability to detoxify the body system. Lao Cong Shui Xian is loved particularly by the elders for its bold and unique flavor in China. The Lao Cong Shui Xian was roasted in a medium strength, resulting in a tea that is incredibly smooth with elegant flowery aroma and a 'rock flavour' that continues through many infusions.
