Zhang Ping Shui Xian is a distinctive tea from Zhang Ping, a city in the southwestern Fujian province. It has received geographical indication protection since 2009 and is notable for being the only Oolong tea that incorporates compression as a standard step in its production. The history of tea cultivation in Zhang Ping can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty (13th-14th centuries). In 1914, the Shui Xian varietal was introduced to the region, and since then, this unique tea, compressed into blocks using wooden molds, was finally developed in the 1930s.
Presently, the local government has established an organic tea base to ensure pollution-free production. This process has undergone rigorous quality testing by the provincial tea quality inspection center and the national inspection center of the Ministry of Agriculture. The test results confirm that none of the teas from the city contain pesticide residues exceeding allowable limits.
All of our Zhang Ping Shui Xian products proudly come from the same factory, which provides standard samples to the Tea Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences for didactical and research purposes.
