Fenix - The 8 immortals from old trees Laocong baxian
[SK] Osem nesmrteľných z hory Wu-tung
Chinese name: 凤凰乌岽山老枞八仙单枞
Pinyin: Fenghuang Wudongshan Laocong Baxian Dancong
The term laocong (老枞), literally meaning "old fir" or "old bush", is used primarily in the southern provinces of China — most notably Guangdong. Within the tea community, it refers to older tea trees, though it should not be confused with gushu, which designates truly ancient trees from Yunnan province.
Laocong Baxian is thus one of ten exceptional cultivars carrying the characteristic nectar fragrance that defines the Fenghuang Dancong family of teas. More

Laocong Baxian – The Eight Immortals of Wudong Mountain
Laocong Baxian is one of the ten most celebrated cultivars of Fenghuang Dancong tea, renowned for its distinctive nectar-like fragrance. Its origins trace back to the Song Dynasty, when it was propagated vegetatively from a single ancient tree. Of the entire propagation, only eight trees survived in one location on Wudong Mountain — their arrangement strikingly resembled the legendary "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and this is where its poetic name was born.
The plant grows upright and semi-open, with medium-sized branches. The leaves angle slightly upward, are nearly long-oval in shape, dark green, gently convex, with edges and tips curving backward. The leaf edges are wavy, the tip gradually tapers to a point, and the serration along the edge is dense and sharp. The leaf itself is thick and slightly brittle. The buds are yellow-green with sparse hair, bearing three leaves per bud, with one hundred buds weighing approximately 110 g. Full flowering occurs in late October, and the flowers are not double-petalled.
