      Hello,

      I’m planning on my next tea purchase and I have 4 options on oolongs.
      Three of them are already described in the website: Monkey picked, Rou Gui and Shui Xian (Wu Yi Shan Rock Oolongs from Fujian).
      The other one available does not feature on teaguardian, it is Snow Orchid Dan Cong Oolong from Guangzhou.
      I’m not interested in Monkey picked. Rou Gui and Shui Xian are the most expensive.
      Snow Orchid is the cheapest on the list. I’d like to know if any of you have tasted this tea and what do you think of it.
      Thanks,
      Tames.

      Snow Orchid is just another translation for Xue Pian, ie winter harvests of Phoenix oolongs, which I mentioned briefly in this article:

      The genuine origin should be from Fenghuang (ie Phoenix) near Chaozhou in Guangdong, not Guangzhou. Guangzhou does not produce any tea anyway; it hosts one of the largest wholesale market in China though.
      Hope this help.
