A thick, deep taste with a rich aroma of cherry, chocolate, sweet red apples. Velvety aftertaste of aged tea with cinnamon and bark notes.
Lao Qing Xin (Chin Shin) Oolong is very unusual tea. In addition to amazing taste and flavor, it has very powerful energy. By the third-fourth brew different metamorphosis of consciousness begin to happen. The tea has a calming effect, it always brings relaxation to the mind and body and fills with tranquility and light euphoria.
Tea is a very delicate thing. It can show itself from different angles, depending on people around, the level of your care and attention, experience and native sensitivity.
Moreover, this aged Qing Xin is really unique. If you look at the photo you can see a memorial plate confirming the age. There are numbers: 2538, which mean the year of the harvest of this oolong. Buddhist 2538 is only 1995 for Christians. It was the first harvest on the plantation and the owners decided to memorize this event in such a way. To the great regret, this plantation of Qing Xin Oolong has been totally cut down a long time ago, so we can’t try any fresh tea from there. But this old tea also remained just in a few amounts. Hurry up to order!
