From Seven Cups

Snow Orchid is the most popular Dan Cong tea. The strong oxidation and roasting allow the special character of this tea to remain stable for at least two years. Appreciate the dry leaves that smell like the local orchids blooming in winter from which this tea is named.

Snow Orchid is the most popular Dan Cong tea. The strong oxidation and roasting allow the special character of this tea to remain stable for at least two years. Appreciate the dry leaves that smell like the local orchids blooming in winter from which this tea is named. After brewing, the clean honey tea color will yield a robust flavor that fill the mouth and leaves a complex lingering aftertaste.

The Chaozhou people, from whom this tea comes, are famous for their rich diet and frequently pair this tea with meals to improve digestion. They will always use about 8 grams or more of tea per serving, but will only brew each infusion for about 1 minute.

Note: This tea was formerly named Xue Lan Xiang.

Meh, not much finesse for me, have had better, but wouldn’t kick it out of the cupboard either.

My Steepster Select box came in yesterday! Having this for my morning work tea. First sample of the box!

In the pouch, it smells like flowers. It reminds me of the garden we had when I was little.

It steeps to a pretty golden color and smells a little floral, but not as strong as it did in the pouch, obviously. The taste is a very mild flowery, sweet taste. Very mild. Maybe it’s just that way because I’m still getting over a cold. I don’t know. It’s pleasant, though.

I added a little bit of sugar to it and it made all the difference. The sugar made everything taste a little brighter. A+. The package says I can get 3+ steeps out of this. Challenge accepted.
