Lan Shui means Orchid Water, a name that suggests a cup of delicious tea that boasts distinct floral notes and highlights an excellent texture.
Lan Shui is an amazing Shui Xian processed in the modern style and meticulously roasted to a medium-light level. It offers vivid floral aromas, with clearly noticeable orchid scents; a rich and smooth liquor with a pleasant, comforting texture; abundant sweetness and minerality; moreover, all free of charcoal notes. It is a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced Yancha fans, and even a great alternative for heavy drinkers looking to refresh their palate from time to time.
Together with the popular Bai Hua Kai and the newly launched Gui Zhi Yun, Lan Shui completes our Yancha Pack - Three Basic Varietals (Modern Style), offering a range of flavors distinctly different from those in the Yancha Pack - Three Basic Varietals (Traditional Style).
