Description
Jinggu Baihao Snail is a rare and refined green tea from Yunnan’s remote Jinggu mountains, crafted from the tender first-flush buds of the small-leaf Baihao varietal. Though classified as a green tea, it carries the gentle elegance of yellow tea, offering a cup that is delicate yet full of depth. The hand-rolled leaves form graceful snail-like spirals, their silvery down shimmering against shades of jade. As they unfurl, they release an enchanting bouquet—floral orchid notes layered with the sweetness of cooked corn and a hint of fleeting fruit, a fragrance that reflects Jinggu’s unique terroir. Brewed, the liquor shines with a clear spring-green brilliance. Its taste is clean, fresh, and balanced: soft floral clarity woven with a smooth corn-like sweetness, carried by a velvety texture and finished with a refreshing coolness. Unlike the rounder, honeyed character of Yuhua-style yellow teas, Jinggu Baihao Snail expresses a more subtle elegance, highlighting purity, freshness, and quiet sophistication in every sip. |
