An advanced rock wulong tea from ancient tea trees (lao cong 老樅) in the renowned town of Wu San Di 吳三地 in Fujian province, China. Traditionally made using the native Shui Xian 水仙 variety which grows wild in natural conditions, depending only on natural rainfall and without any pesticides, nor fertilizers (uncertified organic).
 
A luxurious tea with complex flavors, hints of ripe fruit and wood, and a dominant aroma of baking. Mid-May 2023 harvest from ancient trees over 60 years old in one of the most famous areas in Fujian for Lao Cong trees. The leaves were baked twice on charcoal for 6 hours at 120 degrees.
 
A rare collector's item that was a challenge to curate. We had the chance to work closely with two Lao Cong collectors from Wuyi Shan. Their main focus is searching for rare and high-graded versions of this sought-after tea. This tea represents a unique genre in Fujian province and ranks among the world's most expensive teas, with only limited batches of a few tens of kilograms produced each year. Even though we often sample such high-graded teas, it's rare for us to feel that the price truly reflects the tea's value. So, this is one of the few times we sell tea at this price, having acquired just 1 kilo for our stock.
 
Please note that this product comes as a single-serving tea packet. The robust aluminum packet is designed for aging and is packaged in a festive, branded box, perfect for such a rare and luxurious tea variety.
