Farmer’s Note
I married into a tea planting business that struggled with finding tea factories who would honor our hard work. I soon started dreaming of creating my own organic tea garden and tea factory. In 2011, that dream came true when I acquired this land with no tea plants, no on-site water or electricity supply. The first five years were all investment, studying how our tea plants interact with the soil, building infrastructure that supports full organic farming methods, and improving tea making craft. We meticulously planted Chinese milk vetch around our tea plants to release more nitrogen that guarantees crop yield and enriches the soil. Ten challenging but immensely rewarding years later, I present to you this Zhangping Shui Xian, created with a great deal of patience, resilience, and pride.

Faerie's FinestGongfu from the Tiger Box!
What a gentle and lightly oxidized oolong! I think this is my favourite tea sample so far; the liquor of this oolong was just so silky and buttery and it perfectly complimented the fragile, sweet floral notes of this tea so much! Very aromatic and light, with the freshness of Springtime flowers and jasmine blossoms. About three or four infusions in it dawned on me that this was giving me the satisfying and warm sensation of a linens fresh out of the dryer – but through taste! That super clean, sweet and light coziness that just swallows you up and leaves you with a feeling of home and peacefulness.
We’re officially past a week into the Tiger Box and it’s been such a fun journey so far; while I haven’t really been able to catch any of the livestreams (timezones, ugh!), it has been a total joy reading everyone’s tasting notes and see all the different sessions each day!
