Product description Chinese Semi-green Tea Shui Hsien - Water Fairy 75 g Canister
Shui Hsien- Water Fairy is an excellent Chinese semi-green tea (oolong) grown in the Fujian province of China. The leaves, wrapped in flat strips, are dark brown in colour. It is one of the more oxidized oolongs with an orchid-like flavour and aroma. The colour of the infusion is bright brown.
The tea is stored in a container that prevents air, light and moisture from entering. The tea in the jar remains protected from the elements so that it does not degrade, such as becoming damp, wilted or weathered.

Recommended preparation of tea in a 0.6L teapot:
first infusion
- Pour 1 - 1.5 tablespoons of tea into the teapot, To make sure the bottom of the teapot is roughly covered
- pour boiled water at 70°C
- do not allow to infuse for 3-5 minutes, during taste and, depending on your preference, let it infuse longer or strain
a second infusion

Preparation note: the times given are approximate and it is a good idea, for example, to pour off some tea after a certain time of infusion, taste it and, if necessary, strain the whole infusion or let it continue to infuse. The tea should be to your liking, and if you prefer stronger teas, for example, use more leaves or extend the steeping time. Don't be afraid to experiment with the tea, it's the only way to discover the flavors that suit you best.
