Another ripper YanCha-"Cliff/Rock" oolong, this ShuXian aka "Water Sprite", was harvested and processed from 50+ year old tea trees in a natural garden (shui lian dong) in early May 2020 and artfully charcoal roasted three times.
The classic Yan Cha characteristics are evident- rich, roasted, with the florals balancing the minerality. Elegant, generous and well worth many a satisfying steep.
Location- DaShuiKeng , just east of WuYu mountain and the Chongyang river

1997-2001 The Tea Catcher lived, travelled, worked and studied in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Italy and the Czech Republic. During this time he drank much tea and visited tea growing regions.
2001-2009 Was spent mostly in Europe working with fine foods and olive oils in Italy, wine in Switzerland and tea in Prague.

2010-today on return to Australia, The Tea Catcher seed, planted years ago, began its’ growth, leading to the purveyor of “the finest teas and accoutrements, sourced worldwide” that you see today. New teas, pots etc are constantly being chased, studied, sampled and ordered to bring the freshest, best and most interesting to you as soon as possible. Watch this space…..!
