Overview
Tip: Steep half a cake in 90°C water for 20 seconds for a smooth, honeyed brew.

A very smooth sweet tasting black tea, with a gentle floral honey taste and no astringency or bitterness. Zhangping Shui Xian is the only oolong tea which has traditionally been pressed into a cake, this cake is a modern twist on an old classic by pressing the Shui Xian as a black tea rather than an oolong. Each cake is roughly 6g in weight. Tasting Notes: - Smooth texture- Sweet floral honeyed taste Origin: Nanyang village, Zhangping, Fujian, ChinaProduced: Spring 2019Cultivar: Shui XianSourced: From a specialist Fujian wholesaler Brewing Advice:- Heat water to roughly 90°C/194°F- Use half a cake per cup/small teapot or one cake for a large teapot- Brew for 15-30 seconds Packaging: Cakes are individually wrapped in paper, which are packaged in a foil bag
