水金龟
Origin: Wuyi Mountain, Fujian
Aroma: Ripe fruits

Shui Jin Gui is a semi-oxidised tea and one of the great four teas of Wuyi mountain. When brewed, the tea has a bright golden sheen that closely resembles that of the golden tortoise, hence its name (水金龟, or ‘Golden Tortoise’).

Shui Jin Gui has a special mellow and refreshing taste similar to that of Tie Guan Yin and green tea.
