Shui Jin Gui 2019

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.
