Fragrant, light, green tea with a unique jasmine character and "pale" extract. It is drunk mainly in the afternoon, without milk or sugar. I like it a lot because the taste of jasmine is subtle and does not alter the taste of green tea.
Even the location where this tea is produced is outstanding in natural beauty. Imagine two mountains, East and West Dongting, rising out of the great Taihu Lake. One mountain is an island in the lake and the other a peninsula, which is wetted by the waters of the lake. The water that evaporates from the lake keeps the mountains covered in clouds and fog. So the young leaves of the tea trees are always wet. Leaf picking begins at the vernal equinox and peaks in early April. They collect only the bud of the leaf and the next half-opened leaflet which they call "sparrow's tongue". The leaves are full of fine white fluff. The processing is done by hand and requires great skill, because if the rolling of the baked leaves is not done carefully, the perfect shape of the snail will not be achieved.
