Shui Xian (Narcissus) Oolong Tea 2026, 25g | Wuyi Shan, Fujian
Description
Shui Xian (水仙, "Narcissus") is a classic Wuyi rock oolong (yancha), here in a deeply roasted style with a rich, warming, and mineral character. This tea offers a sense of depth and stability, revealing its complexity gradually throughout the session. The 2026 harvest, offered loose in 25 g packs.
The aroma opens with notes of gentle roasting, dark chocolate, and subtle wood. These warm and comforting tones create a refined profile that feels both elegant and grounding, in the rocky, mineral tradition that defines Wuyi yancha.
The infusion is dense, smooth, and velvety, coating the palate with a rich texture. Mineral nuances and roasted sweetness remain present from the first infusion to the last, while the aftertaste develops slowly and lingers for a long time, the "rock rhyme" (yan yun) that Shui Xian is known for.
A tea with true character, well suited to slow tea sessions, quiet evenings, and moments that call for reflection. Its depth rewards unhurried attention, revealing more of itself the longer you sit with it.
