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. The aroma shifts from bright and intense in early steeps to warmer and more mellow as the session continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is this tea caffeinated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. As a green tea base, this blend contains moderate natural caffeine — comparable to other premium green teas, and generally lower than coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is it suitable as a gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely. The dual-form presentation, triple-flower origin story, and rich aroma make this one of ovanyu’s most conversation-worthy teas — an ideal gift for curious tea drinkers, entertaining hosts, or anyone who appreciates something genuinely artisanal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44012764233791,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/09_____Shopify_ccb801c9-b8be-4878-95fe-ea45b2d431c8.jpg?v=1790757466","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/jasmine-tea-hengxian-guangxi-silver-snail-curled-snail-rich-aroma-style-150g","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
