| A wonderful comforting tea, but not as good as some of the other hancha on this site. I suggest the Beidou No 1. or the Rou Gui. |

| Delicious. My preferred type of Shui Xian. I´ve been drinking this one for years, and keep coming back to it. |

| Very dark, strong flavor. Not so long lasting with gongfu brewing. But its great as long as it lasts. |

|
| I like this one alot for the intense taste and smell the first 2-3 steeps. But quickly loose its appeal. |

| Thid tea seemed to be too weak, almost like a second infusion, in comparison with similar teas I purchased elsewhere. The aroma is characteristic and the flavor seemed very diluted. I tried increasing the amount of leaves, but was still not happy with it. |

| Beautiful Wu Yi tea. Has one shortcoming so, --it goes too fast. This is my second order and this time on the double to last longer. |
Peter (4/24/2013)
|
| My first try and I am converted. This is a great Wu Yi Shan oolong. Will order more next time. |

| One of my favorite Wu Yi rock teas, Lao Cong Shui Xian has become part of my daily tea routine. It´s the tea that wakes me up in the morning. It´s well worth the price. |

|
| So good that i brought it once more! A very old taste, its like drinking an antique. |

| We like it so much we bought this again. We recommended this anyone who is looking for an older age tea |

| I´d had Lao Cong Shui Xian before, but not from Tea Spring. I bought about four ounces, and am slowly making my way through it. It´s a very enjoyable high-oxidation oolong, probably one of my favorites. Definitely recommended. |
James (11/17/2010)
|
| The tea leaves and the smell is very fresh and the smell makes you happy and sweet. Its perfect for those cold winter days. |

|
| As always, Shui Xian is smoky and delicious. Would definitely recommend for fans of Wuyi oolongs. |
James (3/1/2010)
|
| I really enjoy this tea. Good buy. Tea is aromatic, has a nice finish, and characteristic of a quality Shui Xian. |
Rowena (1/29/2010)
|
| The normal Shui Xian was more pleasing to me, this tea is decent, nothing out of the ordinary though. |
Daniel (1/19/2010)
|
| This is my 2nd time ordering this tea. good one... nothing to complaint. |
Budy (10/6/2009)
|
| Good, I enjoyed this tea quite a bit, and if you count the multiple steeps probably not too costly. |
Christopher (9/26/2009)
|
| Rich, full-bodied, woodsy, smokey, mineral or rocky taste, with a nice medium fragrance. Although this LCSH is quite strong, it is still very smooth and sweet. It has a very classic "old-school" Wu Yi oolong taste profile because of the heavy oxidation. I could also taste the subtle cooling menthol-like qualities of old tea leaves. Great product! |
Kei (9/13/2009)
|
| Lasted many infusions and has a nice depth to it. It would be interesting to compare this with the regular shui xian. |
mark (5/5/2009)
|
| Very good LAO CONG SUI XIAN, smokey and smell good when you pour the hot water for 1st infusion. |
Budy (3/10/2009)

|
Very nice tea but I prefer the regular Shui Xian. |
Gregory (3/8/2009)
|
| Exemplifies all the characteristics of a typical Wuyi oolong: dark, twisted leaves, woodsy character, reddish liquid with medium body. With the first steep, the smokiness flavor and aroma are a bit too strong. Perhaps this is one of those teas that can benefit from a few years of aging to diminish its fire profile. |
Vuong (2/6/2009)
|
| A very pleasant tea, but not one I’m finding particularly memorable. I could easily see myself buying it again but I could just as easily see myself not. I’d recommend it to people but not as a must have. |
anon (2/2/2008)
|
| Dank musty and kind of skunkey in a good way. The tea levees a nice cool feeling on your mouth for a long time. I like this tea a lot and am ordering more today. |
ryan (1/31/2008)
|
| Pugent but very good.
First try and I am satisfied. |
Alice (9/17/2007)
|
| Sweet taste the best the tranquilizing sensation that he leaves in the mind and in the body .recommend highly. |
eva (5/8/2007)
|
| This is very dark oolong. The fruity notes of younger shuixian are almost gone. Nice chocalate and vanilla subtle flavor though. A real mineral quality is there- rocky. This might sound bad but a dirty flavor is there too. good tea. |
Daniel (3/16/2007)
|
| Sweeter and more complex than ordinary Shui Xian, but very similar flavor. Lots of mileage per pot. I love this tea. |
