Black Tea Spiral Special Snail Tea

Spiral tea was named for the twisted shape of the finished leaves - fancifully reminiscent of snail shells, this is a lighter, sweet black tea with hints of roses and plums  - perfect for afternoon tea times. 

Red Snail Black Yunnan tea from Yunnan Province, one of the main tea-growing regions of China, is a top grade Golden Black Tea. Not all tea plant varietals have the characteristic to transition into the gold colour during leaf processing. Tightly curled leaf with a number of golden tips representing some of the smoothest black teas from Yunnan province. Golden-coloured leaves generally provide a more honey-like taste to the brew. The liquor will have a dark honey like colour and gives a full-bodied malty tea with notes of cocoa and sweet potatoes, a very rare classic Yunnan black tea.

This selection is handcrafted from a bold-leaf Yunnan varietal. The dry leaves are tightly rolled into a spiral snail shape, dark in color, with golden tip accents. The smooth cup is rich and full-bodied with notes of bittersweet cocoa and carob, as well as the classic Yunnan spice hints.

This tea would make a terrific iced latte with a little milk and sweetener, a great refresher for the hot summer days to come, the red-amber liquor is rich and oh so smooth. Pronounced notes of cocoa are embraced by a dark honey sweetness that lingers into the lightly spicy finish.

The deep dark amber-colored tea liquor has a spicy aroma with hints of cocoa, the flavor is smooth and rich with a sweet caramelly nuance along with notes of spice and cocoa.

Prepare the tea leaves 2 to 3 grams, 200 mills of water at around 95+ C degrees, 3 to 5 mins depend on preferences. Infuse with boiling water for up to 3 minutes if you want your tea stimulating and energizing; 3-5 minutes if you want it to have a soothing and relaxing effect.
