Recommended Gongfu Brewing Method

  • For a 120 mL (4 fl oz) teapot or gaiwan, use 6 g (0.21 oz) of tea.

  • For the first infusion, steep the tea for 6 seconds in water at a temperature above 95°C (203°F).

  • For each subsequent infusion, increase the steeping time by 6s.

  • This tea is good for 6 or more infusions.

  • Use spring water or purified water. Do not use tap water.

 

  • Wuyi Rock Tea is the progenitor of Oolong teas and a rare gem in this category. Named for its unique growing environment in the weathered soil of Wuyi Mountains, this tea can be categorized based on origin: Zhengyan, Banyan, Zhoucha, and Waishan. Wuyi Rock Tea boasts a diversity of tea tree varieties, with the most prominent being Rougui, Shuixian, and Dahongpao.

  • Our Shuixian is sourced from Xiaozhulin adjacent to the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, qualifying it as a Banyan tea. The environment of Xiaozhulin is enriched by the Huangbaixi stream, which irrigates the farmlands and nourishes a sprawling bamboo forest.

    Benefitting from the unique and superior natural environment of its origin, combined with our specialized medium-high roasting technique, this tea exhibits a richer flavor and smoother texture than those lightly roasted.

  • Owing to the stronger roasting process, the initial one or two brews present a prominent roasted aroma intertwined with a subtle floral fragrance. As the brewing continues, the roasted notes gradually subside, allowing the floral aroma to become more pronounced, revealing a richly layered flavor profile. The aftertaste is moist and sweet, and lingers pleasantly.

    This Banyan tea, offering outstanding value, is an ideal choice for daily consumption.
