Yongchun Foshou Oolong is a prized tea from Fujian, China, celebrated for its unique aroma, which is said to resemble the Buddha's Hand fruit. This tea, also known as Xiangyuan or Snow Pear, thrives in Yongchun County's ideal climate, characterized by generous rainfall, moderate temperatures, and nutrient-rich red soils. Beyond its elegant name and delicate flavor, the tea is also appreciated for its wellness properties. It is traditionally believed to assist with digestion, refresh the mind, and contribute to overall cardiovascular and metabolic health, making it a truly exceptional beverage. This 2019 vintage of Foshou Oolong, aged for six years, is incredibly smooth and non-stimulating, perfect for relaxing. Its convenient brick shape makes it easy to carry, and it steeps well in a thermos, which helps to release its full flavor.
The tea's key feature is its unique "Foshou rhyme"—a fresh, fruity sweetness. The liquor is fine, and the aroma is full-bodied with notes of milk and flowers. It feels like drinking fresh fruit, leaving your body feeling light and comfortable. After drinking, you'll feel a pleasant warmth, especially in your lower back. Overall, this tea offers a truly comfortable and enjoyable experience.
