How to Brew & Store This Tea

Choosing Water & Teaware

The cultivar of Cui Feng Cha Special is Shui Xian. Shui Xian is a very popular cultivar of oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains. However, Shui Xian is extremely rare and valuable in Taiwan. It is a tea that piques interest due to its rarity in Taiwanese tea. The tea is exceptionally well-made, offering a gentle flavor reminiscent of freshly cooked rice, along with fruity notes. It leaves a sweet fragrance in the mouth, reminiscent of Taiwanese Aiwen mangoes and melons.
