Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2025
Origin – Ma Zhen Feng , Zhengyan
Shuixian is one of the most popular cultivars in Yancha and for good reason. The leaves of Shuixian are slightly bigger than most yancha varieties and it has a soft and comfortable character combined with nice floral aromatics.
This Shuixian is from an excellent location in the Zhengyan area, made from Gaocong bushes, meaning “tall bush”. Gaocong is older than regular bushes and, although not as old as a Laocong (old bush), it adds to the tea character and mouthfeel a layer of smooth complexity.
This 2025 Horse Pillow Shuixian is a great choice for tea that has more complexity at a relatively low price. The classic shuixian character is present but the tea has added complexity from layers of darker sticky and woody notes due to the special environment and tree age. The roast profile is pretty balanced creating a background that lets the tea express itself and carry over into a long and tasty finish.
Excellent tea for a delicious cup in a more focused session.
Price is for 50 g.
