Narcissus (Shui Xian)

RNY# SKU1035

Also known by its Chinese name, Shui Xian.  Harvested in late spring and then roasted multiple times over several months.  It is characterized by four flavors -  roast, minerality, floral and honey.  This tea covers those bases and is a perfect entry for those who are curious about Yancha (rock tea) oolong, but do not want to commit to the high cost.
