Shui Xian - Elegant Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea
The Graceful "Lady" of Wuyi Rock Teas
Shui Xian (Water Sprite) is beloved for its gentle, refined character — a perfect introduction to the world of Wuyi rock oolongs. With silky smooth texture and elegant orchid fragrance, this tea offers approachable sophistication that appeals to newcomers and connoisseurs alike.
Appearance: Robust, well-formed leaves with dark greenish-brown hue and lustrous finish, fresh and vibrant.
Aroma: Delicate, refined orchid fragrance. Aged bush Shui Xian (Lao Cong) develops additional woody notes and mossy undertones, creating exceptionally rich aromatic layers.
Taste: Silky smooth liquor glides like silk across the palate. Warm, mellow, and refined texture makes this an ideal choice for beginners exploring rock oolongs.
Health Benefits - Gentle Wellness for All Ages:
- Gentle Energy: Moderate caffeine content provides alertness without the intensity of green tea
- Antioxidant Rich: Tea polyphenols and flavonoids support healthy aging
- Digestive Support: Oolong's natural fat-metabolizing properties make it perfect after meals
- Mood Balance: The therapeutic woody fragrance offers calming, healing aromatherapy — more soothing than perfume
Perfect For These 4 Types of Tea Lovers:
- Busy Professionals: Energizing without overstimulation, pairs beautifully with afternoon snacks
- Sensitive Stomachs: Semi-oxidized with warming processing, gentler than green tea
- Rich Flavor Seekers: If you enjoy the depth of rock tea or pu-erh, Shui Xian offers softer elegance than Rou Gui
- Wellness Enthusiasts: Antioxidant and metabolism support for daily health without burden
Package Information:

- Available in: 50g, 100g, 250g, and 500g sizes

Brewing Guidance
Brewing Guidance
Brewing Guide - High Heat, Quick Infusions for Layered Complexity:
Vessel: Yixing clay teapot (concentrates aroma) or white porcelain gaiwan (highlights fragrance). For 100ml vessel, use 5-7g tea (ratio 1:15-20)
Water temperature: 95-100°C (203-212°F) boiling water — high heat unlocks woody fragrance
Technique: First 3 infusions "quick in-and-out" (under 10 seconds), then add 5-10 seconds per infusion. Premium Shui Xian yields 8-10 excellent infusions
Pro Tip: First infusion is a 1-second "rinse" to awaken leaves without losing aroma
