Cheng Gao Cong refers to Shui Xian grown in the Wu Yi Shan Scenic Area from bushes aged 30 to 60 years old.
Our “Cheng Gao Cong” Shui Xian is a medium roasted style. The roasting is done in serveral stages and combines low temperature roasting and withering. The result is complex textured tea soup that is thick and inviting to drink. The brewed tea has a thick fruity mineral sweetness and soft mellow after-taste that reminds us of an aged Wu Yi rock tea. With a few years of age this tea’s roasted taste will mellow and it will develop a whole new range of tastes and aromas!
An excellent example of traditionally processed old bush Shui Xian.
