TASTING
The dry leaf is a sweet, clear orchid scent — not sharp like rougui, more like white magnolia just opening in a morning garden, drifting slowly over. After three steeps the floral note sinks into the liquor, no longer showing on the surface, becoming part of the soup itself.
Soft and silky on entry, mellow without heaviness — without the heavy rock bone of Da Hong Pao. The returning sweetness is clean and quick, leaving no stray taste. Made for winter — one bowl and the whole body warms.
Shuixian is prized for its mellowness. On a smooth, mellow base this one carries a long, quiet floral note — soft on the palate, with a clean finish. As good for everyday drinking as for guests — the gentlest, most unhurried cup is often the one that stays with you longest.
OUR CHOICE
Why we chose this tea
Shuixian is the gentlest character among Wuyi rock teas. We made this one in the floral shuixian way: the roast drawn back to its lightest, letting the smooth mellow base of shuixian show itself, then holding up that one long, quiet floral note. It never competes for attention — but after all the rougui and Da Hong Pao have had their say, this cup makes you stop. Because it is gentle, it stays with you longest.
