Dancongs labeled Snowflake (XuePian) are harvested later in the season, just before the shrubs enter winter dormancy. Compared to spring harvests, Snowflakes are lighter in body but deliver exceptional aromatics. They are usually lightly roasted or not roasted at all to preserve the fragile floral notes, known as light fragrance (QingXiang). Our Snowflake Duckshit is a perfect example: beautiful floral and vegetal aromatics, and a more accessible price than spring teas from the same producers, without compromising on body feel.
