Adagio's website has this to say about its Fujian Rain Oolong:
Fujian Rain or Shui Xian, which translates to "Water Sprite," is an oolong produced in a similar style to Wuyi Oolongs. Therefore they share some similar traits, such as peachy-honey notes and a mineral "rock taste." Grown at an elevation of 800 meters, this high-fired, medium grade version results in a rich-tasting amber colored cup with the nuances of minerals, apricots and spice.
The brew has no particular aroma beyond "tea," but what a lovely cup of tea! The mineral notes hit first, followed by a delicate bit of sweetness. The complex interplay of those two flavors rewards sipping, not gulping. I can see why they call this tea Fujian Rain because there's a sense of petrichor about the whole thing. It's a beautiful amber color to boot!
