Tasting Notes:

This century-old ancient Shuixian hails from the century-old tea garden in Wusan Di, planted around the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, with a tree age of over 130 years.

Managed in a semi-wild style, dense weeds and shrubs twine between the tea trees... Shuixian thrives in moisture. Nestled at a high altitude, this tea garden enjoys scattered sunlight and extremely high vegetation coverage, creating an excellent microclimate for the Shuixian tea trees. Thus, you can taste the essence of the tea garden's natural environment in every sip.

Taste Reference:

The first sip of the first brew delivers an extremely distinct rice paste texture. There’s a common saying: "No tea is smoother than Shuixian." As a foreigner, my understanding of "smoothness" (chun) has always been abstract—until this sip, where it became vivid and tangible. The first three brews glide into the mouth like a clear spring, with the rich paste texture standing out prominently. In the initial brews, woody aromas dominate, followed by an immediate sweet aftertaste, lingering with a faint wintersweet fragrance.

From the 4th to the 6th brew, the tea liquor remains pure and rich in charm, offering fresh bamboo leaf notes blended with a robust damp moss scent. Sipping it feels like being transported back to the tea garden: sitting on a stone covered with wet moss, listening to the rustle of bamboo leaves as the wind blows through.

After the 6th brew, the tea liquor remains delicate. The moss aroma transitions into a unique cooling sensation. Upon careful tasting, the sweetness and fragrance linger in the mouth persistently. Even by the 12th brew, it remains pleasant with distinct flavors. "Cong flavor" (the unique character of ancient tea trees) is an abstract expression, but this century-old ancient Shuixian has allowed me to truly grasp what "Cong" means—hence the name "Cong Yuan" (Origin of Cong).
