Snow Dragon is a unique hybrid tea, hand-gathered in Fuding County along the rugged northern coast of Fujian Province. This crop combines an heirloom white tea cultivar with a traditional green tea crafting style for an entirely unique taste, reminding us of a less vegetal and slightly creamier-tasting Dragonwell.
The tea’s name, Xue Long in Chinese, pays homage to its dual heritage. Xue means “snow”, and refers to the downy white fuzz covering each leaf — a hallmark characteristic of the Da Bai variety from which it is crafted. This white tea cultivar gives Snow Dragon its soft texture and a flavor reminiscent of rice milk.
Long means “dragon” and refers to the tea’s pan-roasted crafting method, borrowed from that of Dragonwell green tea. The hour-long folding and pressing of the leaves against a hot pan gives Snow Dragon its toasted, nutty finish, similar to that of traditional longjing.
