Characteristics of Our Snowy Dancong (雪片)
The most notable characteristic is its fresh, high fragrance. Harvested after the start of winter, the leaves have accumulated the peak of their aromatic compounds. As a result, the tea's fragrance is often sharper and more stunning than even spring teas. For varieties like Snowy Duck Shit offers a refined, elegant orchid-like aroma, while higher-quality versions include rich, milky, sweet floral notes that are layered and complex.
The Snowy tea leaves are larger, looser and thicker, high-quality ones have a yellowish tinge and a bright, sand-green color. When brewed, the leaves are thick and large, with excellent resilience. Snowy tea is known for its endurance, often allowing up to 15-20 infusions. The tea liquor is smooth, sweet, and rich in texture. Its aroma can infuse into the water, and when savored, the taste lingers and develops in the mouth, balancing the fragrance with a delightful sweetness that never becomes overwhelming.
