The leaves were bruised and oxidized, then finished with several rounds of traditional fruitwood charcoal roasting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZhang Ping Shui Xian is an unusual and rare oolong that comes pressed into square-shaped cakes. It is grown around Zhangping city in the southern part of Fujian Province. Each cake is individually wrapped in paper for storage and then further wrapped into a vacuum sealed foil pouch to preserve the flavours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe uniqueness of this rare tea is readily apparent: unlike most Chinese oolongs—and indeed most oolongs everywhere—the large, lightly-oxidised leaves have not been rolled into tiny balls or long twists, but have rather been compressed into a minuscule brick. Place one in the tea vessel of choice, and apply the hottest water to encourage it to open. Its second unusual aspect is deductible from the name, for while Wuyi Yan Cha fans may know the Shui Xian cultivar best for the dark, roasted oolong of the same name, this version, from the south of the same province, is mild and smooth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis Zhang Ping Shui Xian is made from large leaves, mostly still on stalks. These have been pressed into square cakes, each cake being around 8-12 grams in weight. This tea is lightly oxidised and it has also undergone a baking or roasting process. The baking imparts a lightly toasted character that brings out the more complex notes and results in a mellow flavour and soft mouthfeel.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe only compressed tea among oolong teas - Zhangping Narcissus.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to brew Zhangping Narcissus: Since Zhangping Narcissus is a square compressed tea, it takes time to wait for it to expand when it is first brewed. Generally, a white porcelain Gaiwan is used for brewing.\u003cbr\u003eThe first brew is to wash the tea (the soaking time is 5 seconds and the soup is made quickly). At this time, the tea cake is slightly loosened.\u003cbr\u003eThe second brew is brewed with boiling water, and the cup is left for 10-20 seconds, and the tea leaves are expanded. At this time, the aroma is pronounced and sharp, and the orchid fragrance is prominent. At the same time, the taste is very mellow and sweet, and the soup is orange-yellow.\u003cbr\u003eThe third brew is to brew for 10 seconds. This brewing often presents the best state of the tea soup. Then control the soaking time according to your taste.\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth brew gradually extends the soaking time by five seconds.\u003cbr\u003eZhangping Narcissus must be brewed with boiling water, and it is best to brew it with boiling water every time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MoriMa Tea","offers":[{"title":"Sample 20g","offer_id":49238428811578,"sku":"OTTC-ZPNT-HCSH002","price":9.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":49238428844346,"sku":"OTTC-ZPNT-HCSH002","price":45.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g","offer_id":49238428877114,"sku":"OTTC-ZPNT-HCSH002","price":137.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2323\/3605\/files\/FruitHoneyFragrantNarcissusBlackTeaCake_1.jpg?v=1778729753","url":"https:\/\/www.morimatea.com\/it\/products\/fruit-honey-fragrant-narcissus-black-tea-cake","provider":"Authentic Chinese tea | Born for You, Burn for MMT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
