Winter 2025 in Taiwan has been quite unusual—warm during the day but very cold at night. Master Cho has harvested these bug-bitten wild tea leaves to produce a very special oolong which he has named Snowy Ombre, due to its softness, elegance, and gradual change.
 
Snowy Ombre has a sweet aroma reminiscent of sugar frosting, with floral and fruity notes. It carries a delicate high-mountain mist and cool frost aroma, with fresh, uplifting fruit notes reminiscent of sugarcane and
guava. These are accompanied by
the gentle sweetness of grassy
aromas drifting through winter
mountain ranges, while a lingering
oolong fragrance gracefully
envelops the palate.
