Description

White tea from the Fujian province of China. Snowbud as its name implies is an airy, light tea. And yields a cup worthy of its name: it is effervescent and graceful, with delicate, clean aroma. Snowbud is comprised exclusively of unprocessed leaves and buds, all gathered and dried in the early days of spring. Of all the teas we offer, our "Snowbud Finale" is the lightest one. If you enjoy the subtle, gentle taste of white tea, we hope you'll give this one a try.

"One of the better white teas I've found so far. Maybe my palate is lacking, but for the most part, I can't tell the darned things apart."

"I could hardly get past the smell. It smelled like fish or something. The taste was not as bad as the smell...I just could not handle it so I threw it out."
