Wuyi Rock Tea – Old Bush Shui Xian (Traditional Charcoal Roast) 8.8oz/250g

Old Bush Shui Xian — A Traditional Wuyi Rock Oolong

Grown in the renowned Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, China, this Old Bush Shui Xian (Lao Cong Shui Xian) is crafted from mature tea trees that have developed deep root systems over decades. Finished with a traditional charcoal roasting technique, the tea offers remarkable depth, lasting sweetness, and the signature mineral character that defines authentic Wuyi Yancha.

Unlike heavily aromatic teas, Old Bush Shui Xian is appreciated for its calm, layered profile. Each infusion gradually reveals notes of roasted wood, orchid, dried fruit, cocoa, and the unmistakable "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme) treasured by Wuyi tea enthusiasts.

Whether enjoyed during quiet mornings or slow afternoon tea sessions, this tea rewards patient brewing with evolving flavors across multiple infusions.
