Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the signature varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea. Alongside Rou Gui, it is known by the saying: “For mellow taste, none surpasses Shui Xian; for fragrance, none surpasses Rou Gui.” Originating from Jianyang during the Qing Dynasty, Shui Xian was later introduced to Wuyi Mountain.

The age of the tea trees plays a crucial role in Shui Xian’s character. As the trees grow older, the liquor becomes more mellow, bitterness and astringency decrease, and the flavor complexity increases.

This particular Shui Xian comes from within the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area. It belongs to the Ban Yan (mid-mountain) category, harvested from tea bushes under 30 years old (newer growth). Crafted using traditional Wuyi Rock Tea techniques, it delivers a fresh, smooth, and sweet taste. The mineral character (Yan Yun, or “rock rhyme”) is notable, with orchid fragrance as the dominant note, complemented by hints of bamboo or zongye (bamboo leaf) aroma. The tea has no heavy roasted flavor, offers 6–8 enjoyable infusions, and is an excellent choice for tea lovers wishing to further explore the world of Wuyi Rock Tea.

Origin: Jingshui Village, Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, China
Tree Age: Under 30 years
Category: Ban Yan (mid-mountain)
Soil: Gravel soil
Variety: Wuyi Shui Xian
Producer: Chen Hui
Harvest Time: November 2024

Biluochun is one of China's most iconic green teas with a legacy that spans a thousand years. It's renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma, often hailed as the most fragrant tea among greens. Traditional Biluochun tea gardens interplant fruit trees with tea bushes, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb a rich bouquet of floral and fruity scents, creating Biluochun's distinctive fresh and natural fragrance.

Our connoisseur-grade Biluochun is handpicked from the collective species (Jiu Keng variety) tea garden in Jiangdong Village, Tongguan Village Committee, Daibu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. The tea is personally crafted by Master Zhang, who has 30 years of tea-making experience. He adheres to the most traditional hand-crafting techniques to ensure that each leaf embodies the authentic flavor profile of Biluochun. Master Zhang's Biluochun boasts a distinct floral and fruity aroma, a long-lasting aftertaste, and a refreshing spring vibe with a delicate mouthfeel.

This tea is harvested before the rain, selecting the high-grade one bud and one leaf tea materials. The leaves are plump and tender green, and the tea soup is clear in color with a fresh sweet taste, almost devoid of astringency.

Traditional handcrafting: This tea is handmade by Master Zhang with 30 years of experience, ensuring that the shape and flavor of each tea leaf are perfectly preserved. Handcrafted tea has a more delicate taste and a long, lingering aftertaste.
Great value: Although the tea comes from the surrounding high mountain tea gardens of the core production area, the quality is comparable to the authentic origin, but the price is only half to one-third of the tea from the core production area, making it suitable for consumers who pursue value for money.
High-grade picking: The tea is picked according to the high-grade standard of one bud and one leaf, especially before the rain, ensuring the tenderness and fresh taste of the tea leaves, and the tea soup is clear and bright.

Tea enthusiasts who prefer a strong roasted flavor: If you like the strong roasted flavor or bean flavor brought by the pan-frying process of Longjing or Biluochun, the floral and fruity aroma of this Biluochun may not meet your taste preferences.
Consumers with a limited budget: Although this tea offers great value, there may be cheaper options for consumers who are solely focused on price.
In summary, if you're looking for traditional craftsmanship, high quality, and a unique flavor profile, and you're fond of Biluochun's distinctive floral and fruity aroma, this connoisseur-grade Biluochun is an ideal choice for you.

Enshi Yulu is a long-standing Chinese green tea made with the traditional steaming process, making it the only green tea in China that still uses this ancient method. The steaming technique was passed from China to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and has since become the main process for Japanese green tea. With its unique seaweed aroma, similar to Japanese sencha, Enshi Yulu retains the essence of traditional Chinese tea making.

Our Enshi Yulu comes straight from the heart of its production area, the Banqiao Dong Autonomous Township in Enshi, Hubei, China.
