Notes from the master

Shuǐ Xiān tea (Shuǐ meaning "water") thrives in moist conditions with minimal direct sunlight, grown at high altitudes surrounded by dense vegetation.

Slow charcoal roasting imparts roasted nuances, preserving the mineral nature of its rocky terroir with a pronounced floral aroma.

This results in a mellow and sweet liquor, carrying a soft, delicate orchid fragrance interwoven with the woody aroma of fir trees from the surrounding forest.

Sustainability

All of the materials used in our packaging are carefully selected for sustainability and the natural expression of the materials, consistent with our brand ethos of authenticity.

Drip Packaging:

With its simple and sophisticated hook-style design, all you need to do is hang it on your cup to set it up. There are no complicated steps, and you can easily make delicious tea.

The Drip Mesh Filter is made by 100% PLA (polylactic acid) made from plant-based resin, and it is compostable and sustainable.  

PLA is also the best packing material for organic tea because it preserves the original flavor of the tea leaves best without imparting impurities that affect the flavor.  This reflects our commitment to sustainability.

The Legacy of Wú Shui Wàng

We are 4th generation proud inheritors of the legacy of tea masters across generations in our family. Our teacher and inspiration is our father Wú Shui Wàng. Applying wisdom to his deep knowledge of tea, Shui Wang oversees our tea making and training the next generation of tea crafters.

In the time honoured tradition, our artisans craft the tea by hand that ensures quality. We use only natural materials from woven bamboo trays for air drying with fresh mountain air to wood charcoal for fire-roasting. Though making tea by hand is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the result is a richer, cleaner and deeply satisfying tea.
