Golden Snail Tea is a high-grade black tea made in Yunnan Province in the style of Jiangsu Province’s Bi Luo Chun Green Tea. The name means “snail spring” — “spring” because this tea is harvested in the spring and “snail” because the down-covered buds are carefully rolled into tight spirals that slowly unfurl to release more flavor during steeping.
The Yunnan Golden Snail Tea which is of the supreme grade was made of the first flush Spring-harvested tea buds in Fengqing county, Yunnan province. There are also other grades of Yunnan Golden Snail teas available at ViconyTeas which haven’t been listed here and among our pricelist. If you are interested, pls contact us.
