Introduction
Shui Xian Oolong, also known as Narcissus Oolong, is one of China’s most celebrated oolong teas. Originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, this tea has a rich history dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The unique natural geography of the Wuyi Mountains, with its mineral-rich soil and misty, humid climate, imparts a distinctive "rock rhyme" (yan yun) to the tea. Shui Xian Oolong is known for its large, dark green leaves and its deep amber infusion. The production process involves several meticulous steps: withering, tossing, oxidation, rolling, and roasting, each contributing to its robust, full-bodied flavor with floral, woody, and slightly fruity notes.
