One of the Si Da Ming Cong, or ‘four famous bushes’, the most renowned of Wuyi Yan Cha cultivars, Shui Jin Gui defies its characteristic roasting with a distinct note of uncooked fruit, like fresh green apples, sugarcane, or juicy plums. Yet neither does it disappoint the lover of Rock Teas: its twisted, charcoal-coloured leaves give off a charcoal taste, evoking grilled zucchini and a subtle scent of caramel and cream in the wet leaves. This tea has been stored in the Nannuoshan warehouse for three years in order to smooth down the roasting for a balanced taste; now it’s time to enjoy it!
The perfect tea for demanding connoisseurs that enjoy drinking a balanced Yan Cha while imagining themselves perched atop tall Fujian cliffs.
