Jade Snail uses whole spring buds hand-rolled into spiral curls, then scented 5–7 times with fresh Hengxian jasmine flowers. This results in a significantly richer, more layered aroma and a smoother texture than standard jasmine green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many steepings can I get from one serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Typically 3–5 quality infusions per 3–4g serving, especially using a gaiwan or small teapot. The aroma evolves across steepings — often most vibrant on the second or third.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is this tea caffeinated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Yes.

Unlike most jasmine teas that use green leaf, the full-bud construction creates a richer, denser infusion with a naturally warm amber color and a more concentrated, rounder flavor.

Refrigeration is not necessary but extends shelf life.

Its fragrance is creamy, magnolia-like, and slightly warmer than jasmine — when used alongside jasmine in scenting, it adds a floral depth and roundness that jasmine alone cannot achieve. It’s a traditional technique, not a modern additive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: What is the difference between Silver Snail and Curled Snail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Silver Snail (yin luo) is a tightly coiled form made from tender buds and young leaves — often silver-tipped, with a brighter, more delicate character in the cup. Curled Snail (qu luo) is a looser, slightly more rustic curl, typically fuller-bodied and warmer in flavor. Blended together, they balance brightness and body in a single session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: What is a roasted green tea base (hōngqĭng), and how does it affect flavor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Hōngqĭng (baked green tea) is a style where the tea leaves are dried with gentle radiant heat rather than steaming. This produces a slightly warmer, fuller-bodied green tea that accepts jasmine fragrance more readily than steamed-leaf styles — and contributes a subtle toasty undertone beneath the floral aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many steepings can I get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Typically 3–5 quality infusions.

White Dragon Pearl (Bailongzhu) uses whole buds only, a baked green tea (\u003cem\u003ehōngqĭng\u003c\/em\u003e) base for deeper fragrance uptake, and dual-flower scenting with both jasmine and \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e (white champaca). The rolled pearl form also seals the fragrance inside the tea rather than leaving it on the surface — which means the aroma releases progressively during brewing rather than fading quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: What does \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e (báilán huā) add to the flavor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e blossoms have a creamy, warm, magnolia-like fragrance — slightly richer and less sharp than pure jasmine. When used alongside jasmine in scenting, it softens the floral edge and adds a rounded, almost buttery depth to the aroma and finish. It’s a traditional Guangxi technique, not a modern additive or flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many pearls per serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: We recommend 4–6 pearls per 150–200ml of water for hot brewing, or 8–10 pearls per 600ml for cold brew. Adjust to taste — more pearls produce a more intensely floral cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many steepings can I get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Typically 3–5 quality infusions.
