This tea, a gem in the world of red teas, is named for its coiled leaves resembling golden snails. It's a luxurious offering from Yunnan, China, where each leaf is hand-twisted to capture its rich flavor and aroma. The first sip reveals a complex blend of sweet, malty, and fruity flavors with a smooth texture. Its richness is balanced by a light fruity finish leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
