[~ZPSX~] (AKA Zhang Ping Shui Xian)

SUMMARY

Type: Southern Fujian Oolong Tea
Origin: Zhu Chang Keng, Zhang Ping County, Fujian province, China

Introducing [~ZPSX~]. No, it's not the name of Elon's next kid but a unique, light and refreshing Southern Fujian Oolong tea. Hand-pressed into small and convenient 9g blocks, it sits on the lighter, greener side of the Oolong tea spectrum and has a complex, floral aroma, both in the dry leaf and in the resulting tea.

TASTING NOTES

A light and refreshing floral aroma with a pleasant, sugarcane-like sweetness. A medium bodied tea with a smooth, clean finish and creamy, luscious mouth feel.

STORAGE

Proper tea storage is super important. Improper storage leads to flat, flavourless and potentially weird tasting tea. So as a rule of thumb, keep your tea leaves in an airtight container (the less air inside the better) and away from heat, light, moisture and strong odours.
