Roasted Shuixian oolong is stable, suited to room-temperature storage that is sealed, light-proof, moisture-proof and odor-free. Iron cans, tin cans or a purple clay jar are recommended, kept in a cool place. Taking it out regularly for boiling-water brewing helps maintain its character
Mild in nature and rich in various minerals and compounds, it helps digest food, cut grease, soothe body and mind and promote metabolism. Its gentle nature is milder on the stomach and intestines
Best enjoyed after meals; paired with light tea snacks, its mellowness is better complemented. Aged Shuixian tastes even mellower. If the new tea’s fire note feels slightly heavy, let it sit for a while to “reduce the fire” before drinking for a better taste.
