Shuiman Tea

Shuiman Tea

　　Shuiman Tea, one of Hainan's famous teas, is made from wild large-leaf tea leaves sourced in the Wuzhishan Mountains using traditional handmade techniques. It gets its name from Shuiman Village in Shuiman Township, Hainan. Since ancient times, wild tea has been produced in Shuiman. Once processed into green tea, it came to be known as "Shuiman Tea," renowned for its high quality, though production has always been limited. It is mainly distributed in the Wuzhishan Mountain area, with low yields, and is suitable for making green tea.

　　The term "Shuiman" means "ancient and supreme" in the Li language, which is why Shuiman Tea is also considered the supreme tribute-quality green tea of Hainan. This tea features a bright liquor color, long-lasting aroma, and mellow taste. Folklore claims it has benefits such as refreshing the mind, relieving fatigue, preventing colds, and clearing heat and toxins. However, Shuiman Tea can now also be cultivated artificially.
