While most Dancong oolong is picked in early spring and released in late summer, Xue Wu Ye is uniquely harvested in early winter and released after Lunar New Year. The winter climate of Huang Ruiguang's choice plot in Wudongshan yields deep complexity in Xue Wu Ye, a depth brought out by the Huang Family's insistence on full hand-finishing, from picking, to the 16 hour meticulous turning and fluffing to bring out araomtics. After roasting, the tea is allowed to rest for several months to reach peak intensity. This seasonal gem is not available every year and depends on perfect weather, so we're always excited to share a new harvest.
