Zhangping Shui Xian is the only Oolong tea traditionally produced in a pressed square “cake” format. The name “Shui Xian” translates to “Narcissus,” though the tea is celebrated for its distinct orchid-like aromatic compounds. This 2025 Autumn harvest emphasizes the “high fragrance” (Gao Xiang) typical of autumn pickings. The light roasting process preserves the tea’s enzymatic floral oils, resulting in a brew that is both soothing and mentally refreshing. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a sophisticated, aromatic session with the convenience of pre-measured portions.
