Named after the colour and tightly curled shape, don't worry, no snails were harmed (or included) in the production of this tea...!!
Produced in a super certified garden in the Simao region of Yunnan province South Western China, this tea is a great introduction to the Dian Hong "Yunnan Red" black teas of this region.
A beautiful clean pick of two leaves and a bud and careful oxidation results in a light, malty, clean brew with hints of brown sugar and pleasant tang.
Tightly rolled buds to slowly unravel with many steeps. To enjoy...
