We proudly launch this tea for our beloved tea drinkers. Each year there are hundreds of tea competitions in Wuyi mountain. The official competition celebrated by the agricultural bureau of the city is one of the most prestigious, and in 2020, this tea won the grand prize.
Our 2020 Prize-winning Shui Xian is slowly roasted over a charcoal fire at a low heat and possesses evident characteristics of the varietal. From the moment the dry tea leaves are placed into the pre-heated Gaiwan, the aroma develops becoming floral and complex. Once activated by boiling water, the clear orchid note is highlighted on the lid of Gaiwan, as well as in the tea soup. The tea soup is distinctive, elegant, and with a notable sweetness. Due to the high extraction rate of this tea, the first four or five infusions are outstanding even with a very quick pour-out, the tea soup then begins to mellow but still gives excellent flavours when the steeping time is increased.
