The tea leaves are among the four best kinds of yan cha produced in Wuyishan Mountains in Fujian.
The trees with the leaves of this kind grow along rivers. The name of this tea stems from that the figure of the tree in the river which looks like a turtle craning its neck from the river on the surface of which there is a reflection of the sunlight.
Yan cha tea is distinguished by the place where it is grown. The one grown in the area of a high altitude in Wuysahn Mountains called Zhen Yan Cha (正岩茶); Ban Yan Cha (半岩茶) is grown in the area of a low altitude; the one grown in neighboring fields Zhou Cha (州茶).
The yields of Shui Jin Gui in Zhen Yan area are really limited because it is harvested only once a year, whereas Zhou Cha is harvested several times a year. But if you want to taste a genuine Yan cha tea, Zhen Yan tea is the best choice.
This shui Jin Gui is roasted with medium heat. Its fragrance is just like Aquilaria agallocha and a little bit like Japanese apricot. It has a subtle, sweet and smooth flavor and some hidden unique fragrance.

How to prepare
3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp
95°C 203°F
150 ml 5.1 fl oz 150 cc
30 sec.~
STEP 1) Warm a gaiwan or teapot by pouring boiling water into it, then pouring it out.
STEP 2) Put tea leaves into the pot and pour water over the leaves.
STEP 3) Steam it for the required time.
STEP 4) Pour the tea into a pitcher, then into the cups to serve.
❖ When first pouring water over the leaves, foam is created. Remove the foam using the lid of the pot to achieve clearer taste.
❖ No need to "wash" the tea leaves, the first infusion is already ready to drink.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (from the time of the first infusion).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from steaming too much.
Taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your
favorite way to infuse.
