The full name of this famous Chinese Pian Xiang is ˜Snow Drop in Emerald Pond." When this jasmine green tea is brewed in a transparent glass, the tea buds fall to the bottom while the white jasmine petals float on the surface of the glowing green water. This vision recalls snowflakes falling into an emerald pool. Snow Drop has very limited production. This tea is produced from high-quality, early spring tea buds and the highest-quality, most delicate jasmine flower buds to create a fresh flavor and lingering aroma over several infusions. The quality of this tea allows you to use less tea and short infusion times to fully appreciate the flavor and aroma.
