Shui Jin Gui or "Golden Water Turtle", one of the famous "Four Great Varieties" of Wuyi Rock Tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China, is known for its unique characteristics. The name "Shui Jin Gui" (Golden Water Turtle) comes from the crossed branches of the tea tree, which resemble the patterns on a turtle's back. The tea leaves are dense and glossy, resembling the golden color of a turtle's shell.

The tea leaves of Shui Jin Gui are tightly rolled, with a dark green color and a "golden" hue. The aroma is rich and aromatic, while the taste is mellow and sweet. The tea liquor is bright, ranging from orange to golden. The leaves are thick, soft, and shiny, with a uniform appearance and distinct red-edged green leaves. The lingering fragrance is strong and lasting.

 

Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.

Super tea

This Shui Jin Gui oolong is a true delight. The warming sensation it provides is perfect for a cozy afternoon. The flavor is a harmonious blend of burnt sugarcane sweetness, gentle spices, and a hint of dried blueberries. It performs beautifully over multiple infusions, with each steep revealing new layers of complexity. The service from Yunnan Sourcing was exceptional, ensuring the tea arrived fresh and well-packaged

I am really a big fan of this oolong, it has a nice warming qi and some lovely burnt sugarcane notes and a bit of spices. Dried blueberries too I think. The roast is well-done, and it doesn't hide the complexity of the tea, it adds richness and doesn't veer into that one-note roasted territory.
