"Snowflake" oolong tea from the Phoenix Mountains, China
Huang Zhi Xiang or also known as "Gardenia aroma Dancong" is one of the famous varietals of Phoenix Mountain teas. The fragrance is toasty with the mellow note of cashew nuts and fruity with a ting of sour cherries. These characteristics return in the flavor: fruity with a sour-cherry edge and lightly herbaceous. It also carries the soft, floral character of sweet acacia blossom, with a gentle honeyed sweetness lingering in the background.”
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 fresh and crisp like winter air.
The tea is impressively lasting and goes up to 6-7 infusions. Best enjoyed hot, as it develops a slight bitterness as it cools.
Place of origin: Feng Huang Mountain Tian Zhu Keng Village
Age of tree: 96 years

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them, and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
