Snow Bud is also known as Snowy Sprout, translated from Chinese Xue Ya (雪芽). These sweet and nutty fine tips give a clear golden aromatic nectar and a beautiful lingering flavour. It is light and lifting, perfect for keeping you quenched and refreshed throughout the day. The tea slurps in a way of a very light, flaky pastry that just melts on your tongue, leaving behind a delicate icing to envelop your taste buds in a warm embrace.
The aftertaste is complex, however, a little drying, chalky and could be lightly astringent of light wood and unripe fruits. It is definitely more on the complex than the delicate end of the white tea spectrum. These fuzzy green tender sprouts never fail to deliver an everyday fine tea drinking experience for those who also pursue the full impact of health benefits from tasteful teas.
