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.

Story

Snowbud tea hails from the Fujian province of China, one of its most prolific. This region accounts for one-fifth of China's total tea output. And the high quality of its teas keeps them in high demand. This region's exports of tea account for a quarter of the country's total. Fujian teas benefits from an excellent climate, combining mild temperatures, abundant rainfall and mountainous terrain. It has a long history of cultivating tea: over one-thousand years.

"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."

"I love this tea! It has a very light, mellow flavor that is a nice change from a stronger tea like green or black. Goes great with a little peppermint, too."

"This is an excellent tea with a wonderful after taste. To get the full flavor I use 18 grams per 32 oz of water. The second steep using half as much water is OK but loses some of the great after taste."
