Snowflakes on Emerald Pond | (碧潭飘雪)

[Snowflakes on Emerald Pond | 碧潭飘雪 | ❄️🍵]

September 2026 Batch

Introducing our first Sichuan Green! Also known as "Snowdrop Jasmine" and "Snow Drifting on Jade Pond", this style was developed a Chengdu tea researcher in the 1990's as an evolution of jasmine highlighting visual elegance & its tea base, and natural expression of his city's love for leisurely conversations over tea.

Naturally - this stunner earns its names for the dance of silken Sichuan flowers that fly across your teapot while brewing! It's not only dried with morning-picked local jasmines - but given a final roast with these fresh, whole flowers - in addition to using a louder & more verdant tea base than usual.

Whereas classic Fujian style jasmines like our Dragon Pearls use a delicate base to prioritize the florals, this batch uses fresh, tender tea buds from Mount Emei that offer extra nutrients, and a wilder leafy edge with jasmine playing a more supportive role.

Packed with green teas' iconic catechins, EGCG, & other immune-supportive compounds, and much harder to find in the West, Snowflakes on Emerald Pond is an adventurous gift for green-tea lovers and...I mean let's be honest, it's really pretty :)

_____

Western Style Brew:

Steep 1: 8g Tea | 12oz | 185-190°F | 2.5 - 3 Minute Steep

Steep 2: We recommend 190°F & steeping an extra +3 - 3.5 Minutes

Careful brewing! As with many jasmines, Snowflakes is strong enough to resteep, but also tastes too herbaceous when the 1st batch steeps too long

Future batches of Snowflakes may fluctuate a bit in price depending on the season's jasmine crops
