Description:
Shui Xian, which means "Narcissus" or "Water Immortal," is one of the traditional oolong teas from the Wuyi region, a place with a long history of tea cultivation and production. Typically, the leaves are partially oxidized (similar to other oolongs), then roasted to enhance the flavor and aroma. The roasting process can vary, affecting the final taste of the tea.
Shui Xian is known for its strong, floral fragrance with hints of orchid and also the tea has a rich, full-bodied flavor with notes of roasted nuts, honey, and a distinctive mineral undertone due to the rocky terrain of the Wuyi Mountains. It often has a lingering sweetness.
Like other oolong teas, Shui Xian contains antioxidants, which can help in reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and providing various other health benefits.
