A leafy, dark, highly-oxidized strip-style oolong from the Wu Yi Shan area of Northern Fujian Province. One of the Wu Yi Shan's most well-known teas, Shui Xian has long, slender, thick-ish, slightly twisted leaves and has been dried over charcoal fire. This tea has many fans among our oolong tea enthusiast customers, and is a reasonably priced introduction to the wonderful world of Wu Yi Shan rock oolong teas.
