Origin: Zhangping, Fujian Province, China


Special Features: A rare and traditional floral oolong tea, hand-pressed by hand, Zhangping Shuixian is a unique Fujian specialty. After roasting, the leaves are carefully hand-pressed into small cakes called "tea bunches." This ancestral process, recognized as an intangible cultural heritage in China, gives this tea an exceptional aromatic richness.

Packaging: 250 grams divided into compressed 8-gram cubes, ideal for infusion in a gong fu cha or traditional teapot.

Aromatic Bouquet: This oolong tea offers an intensely floral aroma, dominated by notes of orchid and white flowers. Subtle hints of ripe fruit and fresh butter enrich its olfactory profile, for a refined and enveloping sensory experience.

Benefits and Characteristics:

  • Cultivated without chemicals, 100% natural
  • Low oxidation, rich in antioxidants
  • Roundness, smoothness, and lightness, perfect for relaxation
  • Zhangping Shuixian's unique artisanal compression process
  • Excellent for lovers of floral and mellow teas


Recommended Dosage: One 8g cube can be infused up to 10 times. To preserve its delicate aromas, favor short infusions, especially at the beginning.

Suggested Preparation: 

  • Use filtered or spring water with low mineral content
  • Temperature: 95–100°C
  • Leaf Awakening: Quick rinse (2 seconds)
  • Infusion 1: 6 seconds
  • Infusion 2: 9 seconds
  • Add 3 to 5 seconds per infusion

Multiple infusions are possible to explore the full complexity of the tea.

Taste Profile: A velvety and elegant tea with a floral attack of orchid, jasmine, and wild lily. The palate evolves into sweet, buttery, slightly honeyed flavors, with a vegetal touch on the finish.

Infusion Color: Spring-like with a light lemony honey color, a light golden yellow in the finish, clear and bright.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong odors. To prolong its freshness, it can be frozen, as connoisseurs do in China. Ideally, consume within one year.
