In Huiyuan Keng, the core terroir of Wuyi Rock Tea, lies a secluded sanctuary of ancient tea bushes—here, century-old tea trees stand in silent cultivation, their branches cloaked in moss, forging a unique "solitude" essence amid the deep valley mists. Today, Tongxin She Teahouse is honored to recommend this premium Wuyi Rock Tea masterpiece: "Solitude" Huiyuan Keng Old Bush Shuixian, crafted with meticulous artistry by Master Wang Guoxing. Let a cup of tea guide you into the supreme realm of solitary reflection.
The tea's name "Solitude" is personally inscribed by Mr. Liu Yanhu, Professor of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Graduate Supervisor, Researcher at the Calligraphy Academy and Seal Carving Academy of the Chinese National Academy of Arts. His vigorous brushwork embodies Oriental philosophy, and a touch of cinnabar red seal bears the inherent integrity of Kuanlu (the tea brand). As the name implies, encountering this tea is an exclusive dialogue with oneself—from the moment the tea soup touches the lips, the hustle of the outside world fades. The mellow richness of the old bush tea, wrapped in honeyed fragrance, unfolds on the tongue, while the aftertaste sinks gently like morning mountain mist. Each infusion is a contemplative contest with one's inner self; as the tea energy circulates, solitude transforms from emptiness into a fulfilling blank slate. It turns out that the highest form of being alone is allowing a cup of tea to reflect heaven and earth—when the tea smoke dissipates, one realizes all things are conversable, and only the tranquil can hear clearly.
Core Tasting Experience
• Dry Tea: Tightly twisted strips, greenish-brown and glossy; the base of the tea leaves is plump and lustrous.
• Tea Liquor: Orange-red and translucent, like glowing amber.
• Aroma: Rich and layered, dominated by woody notes, complemented by orchid fragrance, old bush charm, and reed leaf scent. The aroma lingers faintly in the mouth after sipping, enduring endlessly.
• Taste: Distinct woody flavor, as if holding agarwood in the mouth, accompanied by a subtle coolness. The tea soup is soft and mellow—tasting of time, not intense but incredibly comforting. The cold tea reveals an exquisite, understated woodiness with a cedar aroma. The aftertaste at the throat is sweet and refreshing, with restrained yet powerful tea energy permeating throughout.
This "Solitude" Old Bush Shuixian hails from century-old tea trees in the core terroir of Huiyuan Keng, where misty clouds and fertile soil nourish abundant nutrients in the tea leaves. Master Wang Guoxing adheres to traditional medium-fire slow roasting techniques, carefully extracting the time-honored agarwood of the old bushes. Upon the first sip, orchid fragrance lingers softly; as the tea soup glides down, woody old bush charm, sweet reed leaf notes, and rocky coolness emerge sequentially, weaving a complex yet harmonious tapestry on the tongue. The lingering aftertaste invites immersion in a slow, profound sensory meditation.
The name "Solitude" is not merely a label but a projection of Oriental philosophy—seeking a peaceful corner in one's heart amid prosperity and hustle. Sipping this tea is like stepping into the primeval forest that nurtures it; in the flow of the tea soup, one perceives the serene composure of being detached from the world.
Century-old integrity in a cup of profound tranquility. "Solitude" is a gift of depth from time, and a rare state of peace for tea lovers. Welcome to Tongxin She Teahouse to embark on this spiritual journey of conversing with oneself and time.
