Hui Yuan Keng Shuixian

"Shui Xian" is one of the most popular varieties of Yancha oolongs, well known since the XIXth century. Nowadays it is grown everywhere in Wuyishan mountains, but also there are some primarily regarded places of worship. One of these places is Hui Yuan Keng ("Garden of Wisdom") situated near Buddhist monastery of the same name. This is precisely the place where our "Hui Yuan Keng Shui Xian" was grown. During the traditional style processing the tea leaves were exposed to deep fermentation and baked at medium heat. Dry flagella of twisted tea leaves are large, dark brown color. The flavor is intense, with bread and floral nuances. The brew is transparent, with a meadow honey hue.
