Among the many different kinds of wulong teas, Zhangping Shuixian is one of the most remarkable, and the only traditionally pressed wulong in China.
To make this beautiful square-shaped tea, pickers select only the strongest leaves from Shuixian cultivar, which are able to withstand the pressing process. After picking, the leaves are shaken in bamboo baskets to activate a light oxidation that turns the tips red and gives a traditional floral aroma. The leaves are then pressed using a wooden utensil that shapes them into a square, tightly wrapped in a candid paper sheet. During the infusion, the tightly rolled leaves are put together in the teapot, without breaking the shape. After touching boiling water, the leaves start to open like a blooming flower, releasing the most intense and inebriating floral bouquet.
The air is immediately filled with a floral fragrance that ranges from elegant orchids to narcissus, magnolia, and gardenia. The aroma has great elegance and surprising sweetness, creamy, and long-lasting.
Each box contains 6 pieces of 10 gr. each, for a total of 60 grams.
Origin: Zhangping, Fujian province Flush: Spring 2021 Format: small box containing 6 pieces of 10 gr. each Storage:the leaves can be stored in their original package or in ceramic vases. Avoid heat, light, and moisture.

Amazing and long-lasting
This tea went far beyond my expectations: the floral note is persistent but not prominent, and the leaves unleash a pleasant creaminess. Despite being long-lasting (I counted 10 infusions and stopped before the leaves lost their fragrance), it is very enjoyable in the long run. Definitely a "must have" in every tea lovers' collection.
