Shui Xian, or Water Sprite, has surprised me with how flavorful and balanced it was. I was expecting it to be fairly intense and not to my liking, but I was proven wrong! Quite an enjoyable and relaxing drinking experience.
Full mouthfeel with medium astringency. Brewed lighter than other Wuyi from the start. Temps 190-200 F; times: flash – 25 sec. About 6-7 infusions.
I can definitely see repurchasing this tea come next autumn/winter.
