The tea picked before midwinter is called “冬茶” – winter tea, and the tea leaves picked from midwinter to the coldest day in winter are called “冬片” – Dong Pian. Dong Pian tea cannot always be produced every year. This tea can be produced only when the weather cooperates and leaves do not become dormant. This condition is the most suitable one to produce this Si Ji Chun of a very high quality. Cold weather makes the tea taste mellow and fragrance sweet, removing an offensive odor.

How to prepare
3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp
95°C 203°F
150 ml 5.1 fl oz 150 cc
30 sec.~
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) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ After the first few infusions, you can 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.
Flavor profile is very similar to Tie Guan Yin - mild, subtle floral, green oolong.
In fact, if you already have Tie Guan Yin in your collection and are looking for a different experience, I would suggest choosing something else.
I would recommend a longer first steep on the first brew (maybe 50 seconds) to allow the leaves to unfurl thereafter reducing the steeping time as necessary to achieve the preferred color of liquor.

I didn't really like the taste, it's a bit bland.

Very elegant, light, sophisticated taste with the milky/flowery scent I find characteristic of Taiwanese oolong teas. Delicious tea, I highly recommend it!
