Snow Pick

This rarest of teas is one that is usually 'farmers only'. Picked just as the first frosts put the tea trees to sleep at the start of winter, the crisp freshness of this tea is world class. Due to the small quantity and difficulty of making this tea, it very rarely leaves the island of Taiwan! The rich floral vegetal sweetness of the snow picked teas is unmistakable and this one has it in full force. Like cabbage flowers in a sweet vegetable broth, once you have had it once it is hard to forget the unique taste of this season!

ALWAYS AN AMAZING TEA

So I missed last year's snow picked pear mountain but this season as usual this tea is one of my absolute favorites. I have never been fond of "grassy green" teas. This snow picked is always just such a wonderful sublime cup. It gives a great sweet vegetal yet not grassy aroma and taste. A friend I shared it with during a tea session said "oh this is like sunshine and a smile in a cup ". I bought 2 bags this time because I missed it last year. And this tea always give 4-6 steeps with great success.

Vegetable Soup (in a good way)...

I enjoyed a very intriguing Gongfu session with this. It tolerated longer steeps than I anticipated and rewarded them with a brothy mouthfeel, along with a vegetal sweetness.

Now this is a fantastic tea!

Fantastic! Smell of the wet leaf was great, the taste was smooth and creamy. Love it.

Delicious and Unique

This makes for a delicious tea, uniquely vegetal as advertised. There's an almost saponic thickness to the tea that's particularly refreshing. Very forgiving to brew as well, I'm a novice tea drinker with an imprecise kettle and every steep was still delightful.

Light, Crisp 5/5

Mountain stream teas always deliver. 5/5. Looking for something light, crisp and easy to drink - this is the tea for you.
