These precious tea trees have stood for 130 years. Due to its advanced age and strict traditional picking standards, the annual output of finished tea is merely 7.5 kilograms. Each cup is a rare gift from time and nature.

Aroma: The dry leaves are thick and robust, with the warm aroma of ancient wood and charcoal embers. After soaking, the tea exhibits a unique "Old Spruce" fragrance: a series of ancient wooden scents of cedar or camphor, intertwined with a unique "green moss" scent. This is a hallmark feature, a complex layered aroma that can only be produced by old trees. 

Tasting Notes: It possesses a remarkable "rock charm" — a refreshing and mineral-rich energy that expands in the chest cavity and remains in the mouth even after the cup has been empty for a long time. The taste is deep and sweet, smooth and invigorating, leaving a fresh and refreshing sensation.

As confirmed by tea experts, this moss-like wooden flavor is a hallmark of truly aged tea shrubs, a taste that cannot be replicated in young plants. Some connoisseurs have also noticed a subtle brown sugar sweetness that adds warmth to the tea. 

Texture: Thick, greasy, and silky

Endurance: Using kung fu brewing (water temperature at 100°C), this tea can be steeped 20 to 30 times, each time showcasing a new layer. The first steep showcases its wooden and mineral core. Subsequent steeps become softer, infused with honey-like sweetness and floral aromas, while the distinctive mossy scent persists until the very last moment.
