Product Overview "Bai Xue Gong Zhu" (Snow White) sets a benchmark in the realm of jasmine-scented green teas, distinguished by its elite A++++ classification.

Crafted through traditional natural scenting, the essence of the blossoms is thoroughly integrated into the buds while maintaining a pristine appearance entirely free of flower petals.
Sensory Profile
-
Appearance: A visually stunning presentation of pure, silver-downed buds. The abundance of trichomes (tea hairs) contributes significantly to the visual elegance and the refreshing quality of the brew.
-
Aroma: A balanced combination of intense jasmine flower fragrance and clean green tea scent. The aroma is direct and immediate, capturing the senses from the first rinse.
-
Liquor: Bright, clear, and lustrous, reflecting meticulous sorting and processing standards.
-
Taste: Exceptionally smooth with a natural sweetness resembling sweet spring water, delivered with a refined texture derived from the pure bud material.
-
Aftertaste & Huigan: Deeply expansive across the palate and throat. The Huigan (returning sweetness) triggers a cooling, sweet sensation accompanied by immediate salivation (Sheng Jin).
-
Lingering Fragrance: High-fidelity floral notes and foundational tea flavor persist in the mouth and coat the throat long after the liquid is swallowed.
Brewing Tips
-
Water Temperature: 75°C - 80°C (167°F - 176°F). Given the pure bud composition and high density of silver hairs, lower water temperatures are essential to protect the delicate buds and prevent bitterness.
-
Tea-to-Water Ratio: 3g - 4g of tea per 110ml - 150ml of water.
-
Vessel: A porcelain Gaiwan or a tall glass tumbler is highly recommended to observe the suspension and movement of the silver buds.
-
Steeping Time:
-
First infusion: 10 seconds.
-
Subsequent infusions: 10, 15, 20, and 25 seconds. This pure bud grade provides high endurance, maintaining its structural sweetness and aromatic clarity across 5 to 7 infusions.
