Feng Huang Dancong Ba Xian Xue Pian

The name 八仙 or Ba Xian refers to the eight Taoist immortals, a legendary group of saints in the Chinese Mythology, possessing powers of art and healing. The legends say that in the Song dynasty, there were 8 trees growing beside each other, and the "mother tree" of this varietal is one of those. Now only a few villages make Ba Xian on the slopes of Wudong mountain.

The tea opens with a fruity aroma, rich with dried fig notes. On the first brews, the flavor highlights dates and raisins, with a creamy body and a hint of caramel sweetness. With each subsequent infusion, the roasted cocoa bean notes gradually emerge, adding depth and complexity, making the tea more layered and satisfying over time.

The tea is from the winter batch, harvested in October, that's where the name Xue Pian (snowflake) comes from. Snowflake oolongs are only lightly roasted, which makes their flavor deliciously crisp and fresh like winter air.

Best enjoyed hot, as it develops a slight bitterness as it cools.
