Shui Xian (traditional/simplified Chinese: 水仙, pinyin: shuǐxiān) is a cultivar of Camellia sinensis as well as an oolong tea traditionally from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. The infused color is a deep amber which is characteristic for many other Wuyi oolong teas. This tea is also grown in Taiwan.
Varieties
- Lao Cong Shui Xian (老欉水仙茶): A Shui Xian made from old bushes that may be as old as 200 years. The taste and appearance will signify it as an even darker Oolong.
- Aged Shui Xian (老欉水仙茶): A Shui Xian that may have been aged for a few decades and rebaked.
- Zhangping Shui Xian (漳平水仙茶): A Shui Xian bush that is grown in Zhangping, Longyan, Fujian province and is typically processed as a green oolong.
