Shui Xian
One of my favorite cultivars and one of my favorite teas, Shui Xian holds a special place in my heart. This Yan Cha (rock tea) from the Wuyi Mountains embodies both strength and transformation. It starts with a dignified, stoic presence—bold and sturdy—with deep notes of dark chocolate and the unmistakable mineral essence that defines true Wuyi Rock Tea. The early infusions offer a thick, creamy mouthfeel that enhances the tea’s richness, adding to its grounding character. As the infusions progress, a hint of wet tobacco leaf emerges, gradually giving way to delicate floral undertones. By the final steeps, the creamy texture gently subsides, making space for the floral notes to fully bloom. The once-stoic presence transforms into a cheerful, uplifting vibrance, all while maintaining the bold and refreshing essence that makes Shui Xian so captivating.
