Description:

"Shui Xian" (also spelled Shui Hsien) - narcissus or water sprite

This great and rare oolong - Zhangping Shui Xian oolong, named after the fragrance similar with daffodil, created in 1914. Zhangping is a famous place for Shui Xian oolong tea which is very different in manner and taste from Wuyi Shui Xian.

Zhangping Shuixian cake is the only kind of pressed oolong tea. This charcoal roasted Shuixian cake is orthodox type product. Picking fresh leaves from late September to early October and there are eight steps must be done over the half month production period. Compared with faint scent Shuixian, This one took longer time to roast. Our supplier Mr. Wang came from a tea family. He told us the craft of making Shuixian oolong has been passed down over five generations.

Clean and strong aromatic tea soup, rich and round with sweet fresh gui hua (osmanthus) and lotus flavor. This tea can brewed many times. Very good tea for gong fu tea ceremony!

Quotes - Oolong


„One of the things I often advocate for newcomers to tea drinking is to sample widely. Learning about tea is, on some level, not very difficult at all. It requires experience and an active mind to reflect upon and learn from the experiences gained. To gather this experience though, the only way to really do it is to drink a lot of tea. Reading about it or hearing about it really doesn’t do much good, for it is only theory that lacks backing from practical experiences.“

Quotes

„The best test is if, when drinking tea, there are any of prickling, tingling, numbing sensations on or near the tip of the tongue. If this is so one can be reasonably certain that agro-chemicals are present.“
