About the ShuiXian tea:
During the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) a new variety of Yan Cha was discovered when oolong tea was made
from the leaves of an old tea bush discovered near the mouth of a cave dedicated to the Immortals of
Daoism. The tea was found to have a unique flavor and healing properties (specifically in purging
the body of heat and poisons). The name "Shui Xian" is often translated as "Narcissus" but, in fact,
in the local dialect the word for "praying" sounds like the word "shui" (pronounced "shwee"), which
means water. The real meaning of this famous tea's name, then, is "Praying to the Immortals" - in
honor the place where it was discovered - a place of prayer to the Immortals.
When you smell the dry leaves, you will know it is a real aged one! Clear, bright and oily liquor,
amber copper color. A little bitter with subtle lingering floral aroma and aged pomelo peel. Calming
and warming chaqi.
Shui Xian is an Oolong tea that has a flowery aroma and is very flavorful. It originates from Wuyi
mountain, FuJian Province China. This mountain is one of the more famous mountain for producing great
quality Oolong tea. This tea is cultivated by every single tea farmer in that mountain and is widely
drank among Chinese restaurants all over the world.
