Snow Dragon Wu Liang Organic Green Tea 35gr

Snow Dragon Wu Liang Organic Green Tea, which is rich in buds and tender apical leaves, transports us to a lush forest with its aroma: it has a refreshing, sweet and vegetal taste, a silky body and a rather complex aromatic range. It is definitely a tea of unique delicacy and refinement. This organic tea comes from Zhengwan village in the famous autonomous province of Puer.

Tasting – Sight and smell

Snow Dragon Wu Liang organic green tea presents itself to the eye with a very high percentage of silvery-white buds, covered with soft bai hao that makes them look like velvet. The leaves are forest green and silver, medium in size, delicately rolled and sometimes curled to resemble the shape of small ringlets. Once infused, they give off very sweet aromas of corn, bamboo, steamed carrots and fresh fava beans, with some slight floral hints and fresh, herbaceous notes on the close. In the cup, the liquor is pale gold in color, bright and transparent.

Tasting Notes

GONG FU CHA

Snow Dragon Wu Liang’s first organic green tea infusion surprises with its sweetness: vegetal notes of sweet corn, garden carrots and zucchini, pumpkin puree, and baby peas. A shy floral note, reminiscent of rosewater, also emerges. With the second infusion, the notes become more assertive: baked squash, pan-fried carrots, and a hint of light roastiness that recalls nuts such as almonds and peanuts. In contrast, the third infusion brings out more herbaceous and very fresh notes, like cut grass and lettuce. There is only a slight astringency on the finish, while the persistence remains vegetal and fresh. Interesting is the note of beeswax that can be detected on the nose by sniffing the bottom cup.

WESTERN

The first notes of Snow Dragon Wu Liang organic green tea have an intense sweetness reminiscent of baked pumpkin, sweet corn, and pan-fried carrots. These early scents then evolve into fresher plant notes of edamame and lettuce, and again into light floral notes, adding to the freshness and refinement of this tea. The body is light and silky: a sugary note and a delicate hint of acacia honey remain on the palate, lingering for a long time.

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing Snow Dragon Wu Liang organic green tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 3 grams of leaves(about 2 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 100 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in 95°C water, an initial 10-second infusion can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, proceed with multiple infusions, each time increasing the time by 5 seconds (10 – 15 – 20 …).

For a classic preparation according to the Western style we recommend 2 grams of leaves (approx. 1 teaspoon) in a 150 ml cup with water at 95°C for an infusion time of one and a half minutes.

The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
