In the mist-shrouded Phoenix Mountains of China's Guangdong Province, a tea is born whose aroma can transport you to the clouds and whose flavor can enchant even the most discerning connoisseurs. This is Liu Xue Dan Cong (Chinese: 六雪单丛, pinyin: liù xuě dāncóng) oolong, known as the "Sixth Snow Peak," celebrated in legends for its refinement and unique character.
The tea's name is steeped in poetry. "Liu Xue" means "six snows," symbolizing the six stages of the harvest, and "Dan Cong" translates as "lone bush," alluding to the individual growth of each tea tree. Legend has it that a monk, lost in the mountains, once discovered a wild tea bush covered in snow. Since then, this tea, said to bestow enlightenment through its flavor, has been known as "Sixth Snow Peak."
Delicate tea leaves, infused with the power of the sun and the aroma of mountain mists, are carefully hand-picked. This painstaking process preserves the freshness and richness of flavor inherent in each leaf.
To truly unlock the potential of Liu Xue Dan Cong, it's essential to follow the tea ceremony. Elegant teaware, heated in a double boiler, and pure water heated to 80-90°C create an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility. The first steeping washes away any dust, paving the way for further enjoyment. Subsequent infusions offer a rich spectrum of flavors and aromas: from floral notes to fruity nuances, followed by a sweet, lingering finish.
Liu Xue Dan Cong is more than just tea; it's an entire philosophy, a path to self-discovery and connection with nature. Every sip brings a sense of peace and inspiration, allowing you to momentarily forget the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of serenity.
Allow yourself to journey into the world of the Sixth Snow Peak, where every tea leaf holds a story and every sip fills the soul with harmony.
