From the misty cliffs of Wuyi Mountain, Gaocong Shui Xian is one of the most celebrated cultivars of Wuyi rock oolong. The “Gaocong” (tall bush) variety is known for its robust character and exceptional potential for aging.

Crafted through the traditional slow, full charcoal roast process, the tea undergoes a thorough, deep roasting that develops richness and balance while keeping floral notes subtle. The dark, tightly rolled leaves carry a deep, glossy brown-black sheen, and the infused leaves are supple with a lively resilience.

The liquor is smooth, rounded, and warmly enveloping, offering a grounded, inner warmth that builds gradually with each sip. The mouthfeel is mellow yet powerful, leaving a lasting impression of quiet strength.

Shui Xian is renowned for maturing beautifully over time, gaining body and complexity with each passing year. This 2022 harvest offers both immediate satisfaction and exceptional potential for aging—making it a treasured choice for collectors and seasoned tea drinkers alike.
