Description

TEA STORY

Chinese name: Xue Pian Dan Cong 雪片单丛

The mountain Phoenix has been the birthplace of many high-quality Oolong tea since the Chinese Tang dynasty (year 618-907). The humid weather and over 1000 meters attitude provided a cool growing environment for its tea plantation. Oolong tea is also considered to be the “perfume” in tea, as there are hundreds of different aromas available. The winter harvest (nickname: snowflake) is one of the unique productions that is famous for its strong aroma. This “snowy” Oolong quietly waits and develops its aroma, and offers an enjoyable tasting experience from different senses in smell and taste.

 

This tea belongs to our Yīn 阴 | HARMONY collection.

Brewing recommendations

3g | 100ml | 100 °C | 3s

We recommend a steeping temperature of 100 °C (212 °F) to fully stimulate the strong aroma of this Oolong tea. Take 3 grams of tea with 100ml water to steep for 3 seconds. Or increase to 5 grams with a shorter steeping time if you prefer a stronger tea. The tea can be re-steeped several times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Yixing teapot. But please remove the tea leaves quickly to avoid stuffing. This tea is best suited for consuming in small cups to appreciate the tea with patience.
