This is the legendary yellow tin oolong. Produced by Xiamen tea import & export co under the Sea Dyke brand. This tinned tea had been around for more than 50 years.
This 125g oolong is high roasted. it is aromatic and has a pleasant aftertaste. Take a sip in your mouth and breathe out through your nose. The tea aroma would linger for sometime after you had drank the tea. Good for 5 infusions.
This is not even a top shelf tea but I consider this a legendary tea. Chinese migrants who had migrated from China to South East Asia many years ago, looking for better prospects, were usually poor with only their shirts on their backs. When these migrants (a big number from Fujian, China) settled down in these countries, buying and drinking this tea (when this tea was introduced in the late 60s) was a nostalgic moment and an emotional connection back to their hometown roots.
Today, this Lao Chung Shui Hsien yellow tin oolong, is still produced and made available all over the world. I enjoy this tea very much. An inexpensive tea, a high roasted tea, strong taste and aroma. I cannot ask for anything more. I am happy. A legend.
