From Teavivre

Origin: Green Tea- Mt. Mengding, Ya’an City, Sichuan Province, China
Jasmine – Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, China

Bi Tan Piao Xue, or snowflakes over aquamarine pond, are selected the jasmine flower in Hengxian County of Guanxi and green tea in Mt. Mengding of Ya’an as the raw materials. After 7 times of scenting, the tea leaves fully absorb the jasmine fragrance, which makes the tea sweet and jasmine aroma strong and fresh.

Bi Tan Piao Xue, each word in its name has represented a unique meaning to it:

“Bi” refers to the color of tea liquor.

“Tan” refers to tea bowl.

“Piao” refers to the flower floating on the surface of water and also the tea aroma floating in the air

“Xue” refers to the jasmine petals, which bring another color to this tea.

Compared with other jasmine scented teas, this tea contains jasmine flower. It is not meant for enhancing the jasmine flavor, but for decorative purpose, making it’s more pretty and elegant. Pouring 80℃ hot water into Gaiwan, the fresh jasmine aroma wafts into the air and then the tea leaves sink slowly to the bottom, the jasmine flower floating on the surface, just like the white snow floating on the tea garden, very charming. While brewing, we can choose transparent glass cup, through which we can see the jasmine blooming in the tea, very comfortable.

Craft: Yi Ti (一提, known as Ti Hua )
As well as being scented six times with jasmine flowers, this type of Bi Tan Piao Xue has undergone a special process called Yi Ti, or Ti Hua (提花, “final scenting”) with the goal of enhancing the intensity of the refreshing jasmine fragrance. Only first-grade flowers are selected for this, featuring large petals, pure white color, and strong fragrance. In order to retain this fragrance, the tea leaves and jasmine flowers are mixed together for one more scenting, and then do not undergo any further drying. Generally, the entire process of Ti Hua takes 6-8 hours, and for every 100kg of leaves, about 6-8kg of flower petals is needed.
