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.

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.

What is Hei Zhuan Tea Dark Tea? 

Hei Zhuan Tea (Black Brick Tea) is named for its use of dark raw tea (Hei Mao Cha) as the primary material, which gives the tea its dark, glossy color, and its brick-like shape when compressed. The raw material is sourced from high-quality dark raw tea produced in tea factories in Anhua and other counties.
In the past, the raw material was divided into two types: surface tea (higher quality) and inner tea (lower quality). During compression, the lower-quality tea was pressed inside, while the higher-quality tea was used on the surface. However, since the early 1970s, the labor-intensive and time-consuming traditional process was streamlined. The tea is now blended in the appropriate ratio of surface and inner tea and compressed in a single step.
During production, the raw material is first sifted, shaped, winnowed, and cleaned. It is then blended in specific proportions. For machine pressing, the tea is sterilized using high-temperature steam, compressed under high pressure, inspected and trimmed, and slowly dried before being packaged into the final brick form.
When brewed, Hei Zhuan Tea yields a liquor the color of amber, with a rich, mellow flavor and a pure, clean aroma. Long-term consumption of this tea is believed to aid digestion, regulate metabolism, and provide health benefits and preventive effects for the body.

Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the tea leaves.
