A very similar tea to the popular Yunnan Pure Bud Golden Snail, with the difference it is produced with one leaf and a bud as opposed to the Pure Bud Golden Snail consisting purely of buds. It has a richer more robust malty taste but lacks some of refined qualities of the Pure Bud Golden Snail. Tasting Notes:- Smooth texture- Good malty taste- Subtle sweet chocolate notes Harvest: Spring, April 2025Origin: Simao District, Pu'er Prefecture, Yunnan Province, ChinaSourced: Specialist Yunnan tea wholesaler Brewing Advice:- Heat water to roughly 90°C/194°F- Use 1 teaspoon per cup/small teapot- Brew for 2-3 minutes Packaging: Resealable ziplock bag
