Also known by its Chinese name, Shui Xian.  Harvested in late spring and then roasted multiple times over several months.  It is characterized by four flavors -  roast, minerality, floral and honey.  This tea covers those bases and is a perfect entry for those who are curious about Yancha (rock tea) oolong, but do not want to commit to the high cost.

Brewing Suggestions: We recommend using spring or filtered water.  Heat to 195F/90C. Use 2.5g / 1.5 tsp of tea for 12 oz of water. Steep 4-6 minutes.
