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.
