The variety of the bush of the same name is very common, therefore the tea is produced in all the provinces where oolongs are made: in Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. The peculiarity of these tea bushes are large, broad leaves, which, indeed, can be compared with palms. But the tea got this name not due to this. The fact is that a citrus plant with same name - Fo Shou, has fruits and leaves like hands, and since oolong leaves resemble the leaves of the citrus plant, the tea received the same name.

The homeland of this tea is a reserved area in northern Fujian, which is famous for its mild climate with abundant rains. Fo Shou grows among the cliffs and feeds on a unique soil that is rich in minerals. This greatly affects the taste of the tea, making it multifaceted. The production stages of Fo Shou completely coincide with the production of other oolongs from north Fujian. During processing, large, fleshy leaves give a lot of juice, which allows you to form a saturated flavor. Such leaves withstand good warming up, so the Fo Shou, as a rule, is very heated.
