Oolong Shui Xian Banyan tea - 50 g

Shui Xian is a famous rock oolong whose translated name means water lily. 

Since this tea is a yancha (yan = rock, cha = tea) we already know that its area of ​​origin will be the Wuyi Shan area with its characteristic rocky soil, but here we have a further precious clue to the origin of these leaves. 

The Wuyi mountain complex, in fact, is generally divided into four concentric zones starting from the central one from which the finest teas arrive, called Zhengyan, up to the outermost one called Waishan where there is a more intensive and standardized production. 

In this categorization we find, on the second level, around the Zhengyan, the area called Banyan where there is a soil with a lower rocky concentration but which is always well enriched by the river that flows in this area. 

the products collected here maintain excellent quality and are also much more diversified.
