Qing Xin Lao Cha Wan (Lord of the Old Tea "Young Heart") 2015: A Treasure from the Depths of Ages
Qing Xin Lao Cha Wang (Chinese: 青心乌龙老茶王, pinyin: Qīng xīn wū lóng lǎo chá wáng) is a unique Taiwanese oolong tea that translates as "Lord of Old Tea 'Young Heart'." This name reflects the essence of this amazing drink: it combines the wisdom of centuries with the freshness of youth.
"Lao" and its meanings
The word "Lao" (Chinese: 老, pinyin: Lǎo), used in the name of tea in Chinese, has several meanings. In the context of tea, it means:
- Age of the tea tree: This is the most direct meaning. Tea harvested from old trees is truly prized for its unique flavor and aroma, which develops over the years.
- Tea Aging: The second meaning relates to the tea's aging process. Many oolong varieties change their flavor and aroma over time, becoming deeper and more complex.
In the case of Qing Xin Lao Cha Wan, both of these values are combined. First, the tea is harvested from old tea bushes, which in itself gives it a special value. Second, it undergoes years of aging, which enhances its flavor.
