Through the long withering, the tea goes through a more intense oxidation and through the cool temperatures the tea remains fresh and green. At the end of the production, it is being pressed into small cushions.
Character:
A flowery whizz, a tea like a spring meadow, lies tenderly and oily in the mouth, wonderfully delicious.

Zhang Ping Shui Xian Zhang Ping Shui Xian is the local tea of the county-level city of Zhangping, in the north-east of Anxi County and is one of the Minnan Wulong. Here, only the tea plant varietal of Shuixian is grown. These teas are produced in a fashion similar to the other Minnan Wulong, except that the traces of the oxidation from the leaves are not removed. The leaves are then fired in heated turning drums and formed into small pillows, as opposed to small lumps. Zhang Ping Shui Xian are fuller, richer and rounder than the other Minnan Wulong.
