What is Southern Fujian Shui Xian Tea?
Southern Fujian Shui Xian Tea originated in Northern Fujian and was introduced to Yong Chun during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Over time, its processing techniques evolved by blending the characteristics of Northern and Southern Fujian oolong teas, resulting in a unique method that enhances the tea's durability for multiple infusions, intensifies its orchid-like aroma, and produces a bright yellow liquor with a sweet, mellow, and refreshing flavor. Beyond its exceptional taste, Southern Fujian Shui Xian Tea offers numerous health benefits, such as activating the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress, enhancing energy metabolism, breaking down fats, and lowering cholesterol, making it a cherished choice for both tea enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals.
Brewing and Enjoyment Tips
This tea showcases the unique transformation brought by time. The first infusion can be used as a "tea awakening" step to activate the tea's inner qualities, resulting in a richer, smoother texture and a more pronounced sweet aftertaste. For the best experience, we recommend using longer steeping times or boiling methods to fully unlock its aged characteristics.
Recommended Brewing Methods
Gaiwan Brewing :
- Capacity：110ml Gaiwan
- Water Temperature：100℃
- Brewing Times：5-7 times
- Tea Water Ratio：1:22
- Brewing Time Once：For brewing, begin with a quick rinse (1-2 seconds) and discard the liquid. For the first three infusions, steep the tea for just a few seconds and pour out immediately. After that, gradually extend each subsequent infusion by 5-10 seconds to adapt to the evolving flavor profile.
Storage Guidelines
To ensure the best quality of tea, the ideal way to store it is in vacuum-sealed packaging, kept in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid exposure to strong odors and air. For sealed storage, using a tin can or a double-lidded metal can is recommended. For even better results, you can store the sealed tea in the refrigerator or a dry storage container.

About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory
Established in 1958, the state-owned Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory carries a rich history and cultural heritage of tea production. At its peak, the factory was a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, employing over 1,000 tea workers and producing millions of pounds of tea annually. Its teas, including Tieguanyin, were exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia, earning widespread acclaim and becoming a shining symbol of Fujian's tea culture.
However, by the 1990s, the factory fell into decline, and its once-vibrant grounds grew quiet. Unable to bear seeing his life's work fade away, the veteran factory director, Huang Shenghou, took over after its privatization, dedicating himself to reviving the factory and preserving its tea-making legacy.
Today, the factory's aged Tieguanyin not only embodies decades of tea-making expertise but also continues to showcase the timeless charm of Yongchun's Tieguanyin. The story of the Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory reflects the dedication and innovation of generations of tea artisans, and its aged Tieguanyin carries forward this remarkable legacy.
