Shui Jing Gui Oolong tea is one of Wuyi most appreciated rock tea: Shui Jing Gui Oolong tea, which means “Golden Water Turtle” and comes from Wu Yi Shan, Guangdong Province. The picking time for this tea begins in early May. It’s a strong and rich tea with a well balanced distinct fruity and flowery taste and aroma. Leaves are curled and dark and liquor has a green-amber color.
PLACE OF ORIGIN:
Wuyi oolong tea, like Shui Jing Gui Oolong tea, is also known as Rock Tea or Yancha and is produced in northern Fujian.
PRODUCTION: the tea leaves in this family are long and curly rather than ball-shaped, and are more oxidized and roasted than Tie Guan Yin. Wuyi tea is not a single tea variety but refers to collective tea grown on the Wuyi Mountain.
BENEFITS:
Wuyi tea has the highest amount of polyphenol which is a natural antioxidant that comes in the tea. Many signs of aging include dark spots, wrinkled skin, roughness and related blemishes-people have reported a decrease of these symptoms with regular drinking of Oolong tea. Typically, a cup of authentic Wu Yi tea has between 20 and 40 mg of polyphenols. This is more than most vegetables that are considered high in antioxidants. There are a few varieties of Oolong tea, but most of them have the same health and weight loss benefits that aid in preventing or reversing aging.
INGREDIENTS:
