Our Old Tree Zhangping Shuixian comes from Zhong Village in Zhangping. The tea garden is enveloped by bamboo forests and crystal-clear streams, providing an idyllic environment for tea cultivation. What sets this tea apart is that it is harvested from rare, 60-year-old trees, known as "Laocong." These old trees, covered in moss, have been allowed to grow naturally for over 30 years with minimal human intervention.
The leaves are handpicked and crafted under favorable weather conditions, undergoing a series of traditional processes, and completed with the charcoal-drying technique.
