"Snowflake" oolong tea from the Phoenix Mountains, China
Our newly arrived snowflake Dancong with a honey-sweet, mildly nutty, and berry aroma, all gentle and pampering. 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.
Song Zhong means the descendant of Song. According to the local beliefs some of the oldest tea trees of the area are direct descendant of trees grown during the Song dynasty nearly a 1000 years ago.
Song Zhong has large, slender leaves, which can take on stronger fermentation. This results in tea with fuller, headier body than most Dan Congs.
Medium short infusions are the best for Snowflake Song Zhong. Depending on how strong you like it, anything between 30 to 60 seconds works. Steep it longer, and the tea gets slightly edgy.

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.
