Why Choose This Tea?

Birthplace of Tea Culture
In 53 BC, Wu Lizhen – the ancestor of tea cultivation – planted the first tea trees on Mengding Mountain, pioneering the world's artificial tea cultivation. Mengding Mountain is globally recognized as the birthplace of world tea culture and the holy mountain of tea. Mengshan Snow Bud is the spring gift from this land of tea.

Golden Altitude · Nourished by Cloud and Mist
Our tea gardens are located at 1000–1400 meters above sea level – the "Golden Altitude Belt" for tea cultivation. With an average annual temperature of 15°C, 200 rainy days per year, and forest coverage of 95%, the persistent clouds create diffused sunlight, enriching the leaves with abundant amino acids and aromatic compounds.

Pre-Qingming Single Buds · Ten Thousand Buds per Jin
Harvested before the Qingming Festival, we select only plump single buds or one-bud-one-leaf tender shoots. Approximately 8,000 to 10,000 buds are needed to produce just 500g of finished tea. Low yield yet incredibly rare, each bud is covered in silvery white down.

National Intangible Cultural Heritage · Three-Pan-Fry & Three-Roll Technique
Strictly following the traditional Mengshan tea craftsmanship (National Intangible Cultural Heritage), featuring "red-pan fixation, three pan-fries and three rolls" as the core technique. The process involves over ten steps including withering, fixation, rolling, shaping with down exposure, and baking. Every leaf is a living continuation of a thousand-year craft.

Crystal Clear Liquor · Fresh and Sweet Finish
The infusion is a clear, bright green-yellow. The aroma is fresh and long-lasting, while the taste is sweet, brisk, and deeply satisfying. With exceptionally high amino acid content and low caffeine, this tea is gentle and suitable for most people, known for its cooling and calming properties.

Simple Brewing Guide (75–85°C water)

Green tea is delicate. Water should NOT be boiling.

1. Warm the teaware

2. Add tea (3g / 150ml water)

3. Pour water gently along the cup wall to avoid burning leaves

4. First steep: 1–2 minutes – enjoy the chestnut aroma and brisk freshness

5. Subsequent steeps: add 30 seconds per steep – yields 3–4 infusions

6. Glass cup is highly recommended – watch the buds unfurl in the water, a beautiful aesthetic ritual known as the "Tea Dance"

Cold Brew Recommendation: 3g tea + 500ml room temperature water. Refrigerate for 6–8 hours. The result is a naturally sweet, crisp infusion – perfect for summer.
