Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan
Shuixian is one of the most popular cultivars in Yancha. The leaves of Shuixian are slightly bigger than most yancha varieties and it is considered to have a soft and comfortable character combined with nice aromatics.
Shengtai means something like biodiversity. This style of farming is a bit different from the usual. In 2021, the farmer took what was a previously normal tea garden and decided to grow tea avoiding any kind of pesticides and herbicides, just letting the tea garden grow in a more “wild” way. The only product used is a fertilizer derived from rape seeds.
This Shuixian is very nice to drink, with a sweet roasted aroma that starts from the dry leaves and keeps going in the cup. The mouth feel is smooth and light and the roasted notes blend well with the tea character with a mildly sweet finish. The flavor is very balanced without any off flavor making an elegant and tasty tea good for any occasion.
