Shui Xian Oolong Tea
Shui Xian (traded in English as Water Sprite) is a grade of oolong tea from Pinghe (Zhangzhou), Anxi (Quanzhou) and Wuyishan (Nanping), Fujian. Older bush; broad leaf, deep roast tolerance. Within oolong tea the grade is set by cultivar, origin and finishing, so the contract must name it exactly and add moisture, roast or smoke where relevant, the residue standard by destination and packing. ODM Tea quotes Shui Xian against a written specification, with the producer and its relationship to ODM Tea named in the quotation.

Grade
Where does Shui Xian sit in the oolong tea range?
Oolong Tea is offered in five grades; Shui Xian is listed fifth (grade origin: Wuyishan rock). Grade names fix pluck and origin; the cup is then decided by finishing, which the contract must state.
The five-grade ladder: Bai Ya Qi Lan · Tie Guan Yin · Da Hong Pao · Rou Gui · Shui Xian. The full comparison table sits on Oolong Tea; every export grade is indexed under all 28 grades.
What must a Shui Xian contract specify?
Beyond the code Shui Xian itself: the grade origin (Wuyishan rock), moisture at or below 7.0%, a broken-and-fannings ceiling, the residue standard named by destination jurisdiction — for Russia that is EAEU TR CU 021/2011 and TR CU 022/2011, the packing net weight and the Incoterm. Finishing decides the cup once pluck and origin are fixed, so roast, smoke or scenting rounds belong in the contract where they apply. Residue is the clause that stops containers at destination and the one most often left generic.
