Product Features
(1) Unique Growth Environment: Authentic snow chrysanthemums grow at an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level in the snow line region of the northern slopes of the Kunlun Mountains. The flowering period is short, and every August, the snow chrysanthemums bloom only once. There have been no reports of mass-produced cultivated snow chrysanthemums being available on the market so far, therefore, all legitimate snow chrysanthemum products come from wild chrysanthemums.
(2) Difficult Harvesting and Low Yield: Snow chrysanthemums grow in high-altitude areas where no one lives, some even on cliffs, making harvesting extremely difficult. They must be picked by hand in the early morning when the sun rises, while still covered in dew and frost, to ensure the petals remain intact. Due to the extremely short flowering period, the yield is very low, making it impossible to find them in almost every supermarket and pharmacy like Hangbai Chrysanthemum and Huangshan Imperial Chrysanthemum, thus making them more precious. With the soaring prices of Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum, more people are joining the ranks of harvesters, but the scarcity of supplies remains a prominent issue.
(3) Amazing Color, Fragrance, and Taste: Although snow chrysanthemums do not belong to the category of tea, they can be consumed like tea. Their amazing color, fragrance, and taste can rival many prestigious teas, almost intoxicating tea lovers. A few flowers in water bloom in a cup, with the broth gradually becoming richer, just like a dynamic watercolor painting. The scent is fragrant, the taste sweet, and the aftertaste lingering. It is irresistible. This is the double experience of sight and taste that snow chrysanthemums bring. Top-grade Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum contains about 30 flowers per gram. When brewed in a glass cup, 1-2 flowers are sufficient for a rich color, and 3-5 flowers produce a very pure wine-red color. When brewed in a purple clay pot, only 3 grams are needed as the user quantity for a pot of tea. Don't underestimate these mere 3 grams, as one flower can be steeped over 10 times while retaining its excellent color, fragrance, and taste, and the sweetness becomes more pronounced as you go along. What kind of tea could be as soft and lingering as Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum?
History and Folklore
The Keriyang mountainous area in Xinjiang is approximately 477.4 kilometers away from the intersection of the Tianshan and Kunlun Mountains near Turpan City. It is generally believed that the growth range of Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum is roughly only 100 square kilometers, centered around Keriyang. It would be unlikely to extend to the Tianshan Mountains. Therefore, Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum and Tianshan Snow Chrysanthemum may not be the same thing. As for whether Tianshan Snow Chrysanthemum exists and how it compares to Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum, there is insufficient information to support this. However, what is certain is that the snow chrysanthemum from the Kunlun Mountains does exist. All Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum products provided are directly sourced from farmers in the original production area of Keriyang in the Kunlun Mountains, which is why the term “Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum” is used to describe the product.
