Jinggu Baihao Snail – Rare Hand-Rolled Yunnan Green TeaJinggu 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 a 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 in your cup, they release an enchanting bouquet: floral orchid notes layered with the sweetness of cooked corn and a hint of fleeting fruit — a fragrance that beautifully reflects Jinggu's unique terroir. Brewed, the liquor shines with a clear, spring-green brilliance. Its taste is clean, fresh and balanced, with soft floral clarity woven together with a smooth, corn-like sweetness, carried by a velvety texture and finished with a refreshing coolness. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItUnlike 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. It's a tea for slowing down and paying attention — each cup reveals new floral and sweet nuances.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a clear glass or gaiwan to watch the silvery spirals slowly unfurl. Enjoy it on its own to fully appreciate its floral sweetness, and re-steep the leaves to discover how the flavor evolves from cup to cup. Graceful, fragrant and wonderfully refreshing, Jinggu Baihao Snail is a special discovery for green tea lovers seeking something truly unique. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
