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.

"Snowbud was my first experience with white tea. Do not let the lightness fool you: this tea has a sophisticated, complex flavor."

"I didn't care for this tea. It doesn't have a bad flavor per se, it just has no flavor. To me, its much less flavorful then other white teas. I made it with double the amount of tea I would usually use, and it still was flavorless. I won't be reordering this tea."

"My favorite white is darjeeling, but it's so often not available, and this is my backup. It's light and sweet and has a full aroma. A good afternoon tea."

"I love white tea, I think I love the name of this one more than the taste."

"I love white teas, so I was inclined to like this one. I didn't find it as flavorful as snowbud I have had before, but it was still very good. You really have to watch your temp with these delicate leaves or you are going to burn the flavor out."

"Very mellow white tea that's great to blend with others to get that health kick! Never became bitter...a much more steep-friendly white tea than others I've had. "
