During the 1980s, tea was not as popular as it is today, and farmers sold fresh leaves directly to state-owned enterprises. Because Shui Xian had a high yield and reliable quality, almost everyone planted this cultivar. Its leaves are plump and fragrant, with the unmistakable "orchid aroma" that has made it a local favourite. This tea is what we call our "housekeeping tea". The tea every family in Wuyishan keeps at home. The batch from Qing Shi Yan is a classic example of high-quality Shui Xian. Fully oxidise
