Jinggu Baihao Snail – Rare Hand-Rolled Yunnan Green Tea

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 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.
