It must have been 3 or 4 years since tea from Luo Shui Dong, a revered core village of Yiwu Mountain, has been in the shop.  The He family of Yiwu were founding members of their cooperative that manages tea resources from select gardens of ancient trees in Luo Shui Dong.  Elegant and classy.

落水洞 Luò Shuǐ Dòng is a 270 hectare growing area resting at 1300-1450 meters in elevation about 10 kilometers north of Yiwu town, just southwest of Mahei.  While Luo Shui Dong and Mahei are like conjoined twin growing areas geographically side by side, there are some key differences in their teas' expressions.  Luo Shui Dong has a higher floral fragrance with a well balanced and complex mouthfeel.  Mahei has more of a honey-like aroma and an expansive mouthfeel, bold and juicy with less astringency.
