Yi Guizhen comes from Wu San Di Village in Yangzhuang Township, Wuyishan. Katniss’s parents first came to know him around 2005, and our family has stayed in close touch with his tea ever since. In the early days, Lao Cong Shui Xian from Wu San Di wasn’t widely known. Around 2006, as old bush Shui Xian began gaining popularity in the yancha market, and with broader attention from local promotion and media coverage, Wu San Di Lao Cong Shui Xian gradually entered the public eye for its distinctive taste.

Unique natural environment

Wu San Di is a distinctive, remote tea-growing area in the Wuyishan, best known for its Lao Cong Shui Xian. The area averages around 800 meters in elevation and rises to about 1,300 meters at its highest point. With a unique microclimate, it is often shrouded in mist and cloud, with consistently higher humidity.

The story behind the name

Wu San Di literally means “The Three Lands of Wu.” According to local legend, in the Qing Dynasty, three brothers who were descendants of a Wu-surnamed lord fled here to seek shelter. They planted tea, settled in, and the place gradually became known as Wu San Di (“The Three Lands of Wu”).
