Golden Water Turtle

Golden Water Turtle, Shui Jin Gui, is a traditional roasted rock tea from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian. This delicious varietal dates back to at least the Ming Dynasty. It's distinct mushroomy feel and fruity notes give it a satisfying mixture of sweet, umami to go with its rock charm minerality. It strikes a balance between heavy and light, with a centering energy that calms the spirit. 

This harvest showcases a mineral sweetness, like you might get in a sprinkle of maple sugar. It has an underlying pepperiness, like a radish. Instead of bitterness or astringency as its cutting flavor: this pepperiness. 

Note: this tea appears to have a higher acid content, not recommend for an empty stomach for those sensitive.
