But it’s not all tropical, as Shui Xian tea is grown on hills that soar more than 1,000 meters above sea level. This gives the Shui Xian plants their favorite temperature pattern: very hot (35℃) during the day while below freezing (-2℃) at night.  This helps important nutrients build up in tea leaves.

All kinds of plants grow on these hills, and for hundreds of years decayed leaves have formed a unique yellow soil that is especially rich in minerals. These healthy minerals are passed on to you everytime you brew a new cup of tea.

So experience a true southern Chinese tradition: sit down with a pot of Shui Xian Chinese tea!

Here the soil is hardly fertile. However, the rocks, having been naturally weathered for millions of years, are full of minerals. Da Hong Pao simply can’t grow without these precious elements.

The mountain area has its own unique weather pattern that is necessary for the growth of your Da Hong Pao tea. In the morning, the sun pours its warmth on the tea plants for just a couple of hours.

By noon, the mountain ridges and lush forests shade the searing heat and offer the tea plants some reprieve. This is important for the building up of nutrients in Da Hong Pao tea leaves.

Almost all throughout the year, fog wraps up the mountains in deep mystery. The high humidity (about 80%) greatly helps the delicate leaves of this oolong Chinese tea flourish.

If you can't visit this area, grab a cup of Da Hong Pao to take you there instantly.
