Shui Xian Black Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club
The wonderfully bright, clear orange appearance of the brewed tea is the first impressive trait of this tea to be enjoyed. It's just pretty to look at! And while enjoying the visual, the fragrance wafting from the brewed tea leaves is the next sensory assault to delight in. It's a sweet/tart, warming spice potpourri that conjures blackberry torte and rhubarb pie, along with hints of allspice and bergamot.

Shui Xian Black Tea | Eco-Cha Tea Club
Batch 111 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Shui Xian Black Tea produced in Zhushan, Taiwan. We procured this tea from our source of Lugu Competition Dong Ding Oolong Tea, and from whom we sourced Batch 108 of the Tea Club. Shui Xian in Mandarin translates as Water Faerie — the name given to a strain of tea originating from Fujian, China, similar to the Qing Xin strain that is prominently grown to produce the best quality Oolong Tea in Taiwan.

Batch 110 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Qi Lai Shan High Mountain Oolong Tea from winter 2024 harvest. We wanted a fresh, yet substantial character of tea to bring in the new year, and this winter crop of High Mountain Tea embodies what we were looking for — including its source. We first met Mr. Xu several years ago at Taiwan's Nantou Global Tea Expo, and were impressed by the tea he offered, as well as his manner of representing it. He had a depth of sincerity and intent that made us want to learn more about him and his work in tea.

Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club
Batch 109 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea from Muzha, Taiwan. Last December we began our ninth year of the tea club with this traditional type of Oolong Tea, and we decided to offer a spring 2024 batch of this tea to kick off year ten. We choose to offer a Muzha Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea at this time of year because it is a rich, bold, heavy roast Oolong that is particularly satisfying in the cold winter months. Its hearty, complex roasted flavor profile has a warming effect that soothes and satisfies.
