This tea originally came from Jian Yang not far from WuYi Mountain and has been transplanted to WuYiShan. Premium Shui Xian is often called Narcissus because of its wonderful floral aroma reminiscent of blooming Narcissus flowers. The robust flavor fills the mouth with a lingering aftertaste. This is a great tea for new rock wulong tea drinkers due to its fragrance, rich taste and low price.

Yunnan SourcingI tried to bring out the Narcissus scent in this Oolong this morning. The last time I tried it, I followed the 212 F temp on the package with a 2 minute steep. This morning I tried a first infusion at 212 F again to get the flavors that I had previously in my mind. I tried new leaves and another first infusion at 195 F for 2 minutes to see if the Narcissus would bloom through. I did get a less roasted flavor but still no real prominent scent of the Narcissus. Next I tried this one in my Gaiwan with fresh leaves and the roasted flavor was still dominant.
Then I took all those leaves and put them together as to not waste them so the experiment was over lol.
I am still learning and am reading about Gong Fu style of drinking/brewing tea,,,this one could be a good candidate for experimenting with Gong Fu!! :)
