The aroma is "earthy". The leaves are rolled into small balls, thus the snail name. Liquor has rich color. Excellent clean clear flavor. I'm impressed with this tea. Certainly it has made it to my top 3. I will purchase this tea again and again.

This tea looks intriguing! The price is really reasonable too...I have had very good experiences with the larger-leaf varieties of tea from Upton. It's really surprising for me to see a rolled whole-leaf tea like this in the bargain-priced Season's Picks section.
