Tea Mate - Dried Pear

This variety of snow pear is sourced from Zhouzhi, Xi’an, Shaanxi, a region where snowmelt nourishes the orchards, producing pears with thin skins, high juice content, and a honey-like sweetness.

Flavor When Paired with Tea:

Snow Pear + White Tea: The natural sweetness of snow pear blends seamlessly with the delicate honey aroma of white tea, creating a soothing and hydrating drink perfect for dry seasons. The taste is silky smooth, like sipping on a refreshing mountain stream.

Snow Pear + Black Tea: The crisp and hydrating nature of snow pear balances the richness of black tea, making the brew more mellow and warming, perfect for chilly mornings.

Historical Story:

Legend has it that during the Song Dynasty, the emperor gifted a tea master a box of tribute pears and a selection of Wuyi black tea. While suffering from a sore throat, the tea master added dried pear slices to his tea and was amazed by the comforting and fragrant result. The infusion soon gained popularity within the royal court and became a traditional autumn and winter wellness tea.
