Strong and full-bodied oolong with a refreshing floral aftertaste. 

Shui Xian is large leaf oolong and an heirloom cultivar that is the ancestor of many new hybrids.  It is considered "the tea maker's tea" for its subdued complexity and gentle power, and it takes many years to truly understand.   Wu Yi oolongs are roasted three times over four months to allow the flavors to deepen and the roasting to settle.
