Minnan Narcissus tea features tightly rolled, plump, and uniform leaves; its color is tender greenish-yellow with a glossy, oily sheen, exhibiting the characteristic “three-tone hue.” When brewed with boiling water, the tea releases a fragrant steam carrying a delicate and pleasant aroma reminiscent of wild orchids, instantly invigorating even before the first sip. After just a few sips, the tea reveals a mellow, sweet, and rich flavor that is smooth on the palate and moistens the throat. Even after multiple infusions, the bright orange-yellow liquor retains its charm, with lingering fragrance. The tea leaves, viewed at the end, display the distinctive feature of green leaves edged with red — truly captivating. Minnan Narcissus tea benefits from production methods that incorporate the strengths of both northern and southern Fujian oolong tea techniques, alongside innovative refinements, resulting in a tea that is more durable through infusions, boasts a fresher aroma, and yields a more vibrant yellow liquor.
