A lovely autumn Shui Xian from Phoenix Village in Wu Yi mountainous area. Shui Xian varietal is an older varietal that has become less popular since it’s got a stronger taste than Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui and Tie Luo Han. Our Shui Xian is grown by village elders who stubbornly keep their gardens entirely the Shui Xian varietal. The tea bushes are around 60 years old and grow naturally. The Shui Xian we offer is a lightly roasted version with strong thick taste and mouthfeel. There is a hint of mushroom and rock sugar in there which reveals it’s rocky mineral base.
