About This Tea

Lao Cong Shui Xian - Whisper from Dragon Well Valley

Nestled in the mountain's embrace where mist-shrouded peaks meet crystalline streams, our century-old tea grove thrives in splendid isolation. Through seasons, the Dragon Well Valley nourishes these venerable bushes with nature's rhythm: spring rains cloak the slopes in silver veils, autumn leaves become compost carried by brooks, and glacial runoff sustains the jade-green waters encircling the roots - an ecosystem perfected over millennia for cultivating sublime Shui Xian.

The Legend Beneath Leaves

Local elders guard tales of the valley's hidden well - "so deep a dragon could vanish within" - where mineral-rich aquifers shape the tea's singular character. As the ancient proverb declares: "Where sacred peaks cradle lush forests, treasures of earth awaken."

2024 Vintage | 80+ Year Old Arbors

After six moons of meticulous crafting, we unveil a tea that translates terroir into poetry:

* Silken Texture with aged camphorwood undertones
* Alpine Freshness lingering like dewdrops on moss
* Cha Qi that cools the palate with mountain spring vitality

Each sip resonates with the valley's untamed spirit - a dialogue between ancestral wisdom and wilderness. To share this rarity is to partake in nature's sacred alchemy, where human hands merely guide what the earth has perfected.

*Tea leaves contain tea polyphenols and caffeine, which are the source of the bitter and astringent flavour of the tea soup, as well as the source of the sweetness. Reducing the amount of tea leaves, lowering the water temperature or speeding up the soup can reduce the bitterness and astringency.
