Foshou means Buddha hand and refers to this tea’s unusually large leaves, which when dried and rolled resemble chubby fists. This tea makes an amber brew with a slightly toasty flavor, sweet aroma, rich flavor and typically dry finish. Although it is made from a different varietal tea plant from either Tieguanyin or Wulong, it may be best described as in between those two teas: somewhat more robust than Wulong, but not baked so long as Tieguanyin. Foshou is also produced on a smaller scale than most oolongs, and consequently varies in style from season to season. |

Premium Spring 2009 Foshou A balanced and smooth tea made from very large leaves. This batch is dry but not heavy, and the finish lingers pleasantly. If you haven't tried foshou before, this is my pick as an excellent example of the varietal.  |

Premium Winter 2007 Foshou This tea builds significantly in color and flavor across the first few infusions, but retains its smoothness and complexity throughout. The finish starts out mild early on and becomes more dry in the latter infusions, when the empty cup aroma is also more pronounced. Among the winter 2007 teas, this one provides one of the more dramatic transitions from first to final infusion. |

Premium Spring 2007 Foshou Very limited availability. Outstanding aroma from the empty cup remains even after the cup has gone cold. Expansive but only mildly dry flavor. |
