Snow Flake Oolong Tea

Snowflake Oolong Tea, hailing from the picturesque Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, Guangdong, is a distinctive member of the esteemed Dan Cong oolong family, one of China’s six major tea types. This particular tea, often referred to as “Snowflake” or “Winter Snowflake Tea,” is harvested during a unique window of time—after the onset of winter and just before the “Light Snow” solar term. The colder temperatures and changing weather conditions during this period cause the tea leaves to develop unevenly, resulting in a broad, flat, and slightly rough appearance. This physical characteristic, however, belies the exceptional quality of the tea within, making it a true gem of the winter harvest.
