About Our Organic Black Snail

Named for the twisted shape of the finished leaves - fancifully reminiscent of snail shells, this is a lighter, sweet black tea with hints of roses and plums - perfect for afternoon tea times.

Brewing Guidelines for Organic Black Snail

2:30

210.0 F

1.5 TSP - 3G PER CUP

Brewing Guidelines are for one 8 oz. cup.

The best way to brew your tea is the way you like - don't let anyone tell you different. Our guidelines are configured for making your tea a cup at a time - maybe with our stainless tea filter. If making by the pot, maintain temperature and time but try with slightly less tea than the math would suggest.

Serving calculation assumes re-steeping your leaves once. After all, these are teas so nice, you'll steep them twice.

For more brewing instructions, read our brewing guidelines.

Customer Reviews for Organic Black Snail

Very Good / Well priced

Very nice red / black tea. Good liquor color. Full bodied texture. Leaves open up well. Elegant, notes of fruit, mostly at the intersection of floral and mineral. 210 F the recommended water temp was too hot for me. 195 brings out the mineral taste I found. Six steeps 10 seconds to 60 seconds between w day of gardening and a night of baking

Class Act

We discovered Little Red Cup this Christmas.
The flavor has kept us coming back. Black Snail deserves a nickname, it’s so smooth and unique-no bitterness, slight sweetness. The personable aspect of this company makes them a rare jewel indeed. I would enthusiastically send Little Red Cup teas to any of my friends and family as a gift.

PS: We’re about to re-order YuLu Green Tea, we drank Jasmine this morning. Yunnan Black has become a go to.

Wonderful Tea!

Really different from my usual go to black tea. Lighter and a bit fruity. Not bitter or very astringent. Very flavorful and a great change of pace. I have really been enjoying this for the last few days as an afternoon/early evening cup. It might not replace my strong morning cup, but really liking it a lot.

Brewing instructions inconsistent

I do like this tea. A lot. Love the aftertaste that lingers - both woody and flowery.
However, the brewing instructions on the tin and on the website are wildly different so I'm still experimenting. There is no bitterness no matter which way I'm brewing.
Tin: 3 tsp for 3:45 min
Website: 1.5 tsp for 1:30

Excellent Tea, Especially for Iced Tea

We are enjoying everything about this tea but its name. Thank you for adding this tea to your superb selection.

Very Tasty!

I had never tried this type of tea before. It was very tasty and refreshing. I would highly recommend it!

Very Pleasant Tea!

I love this tea. It's a little sweet, very pleasant flavor, and not at all bitter. This is going to be a favorite! Tried some tonight with a few rose petals and they are very complimentary. Thank you for bringing us great teas!

Deliciously Fruity

One of my favorite black teas. Great natural fruity flavor that comes through multiple brews. It’s my everyday black for enjoying anytime.
