“Sipdown no. 43 for the year 2014. This is embarrassing. I’ve concluded that my recent Adagio white tea sampler tastings may have all been fundamentally flawed by significant underleafing. I should...” Read full tasting note
“Thank you Azzrian for the sample!! (this was from you wasn’t it? lol) Now, the tea… I see what everyone means about it being light and airy. Like a cloud! and there is a woody sort of note in there...” Read full tasting note

“Dangit. I didn’t rinse my work mug enough, and it still had soap on it, so I wasted the last of the sample of this. Oh well, it’s not a tea that I covet like Gollum.” Read full tasting note
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.

Very light and delicate tea. I can see why so many reviewers are underwhelmed, but I enjoy this tea quite a bit. I definitely use more leaf with this tea (as well as longer steepings) than other similar teas. It can be overpowered by strong foods (or even milder foods), but I don’t mind this characteristic because I have other options if I want a stronger taste.
I think lighter white teas like this are great as a thirst-quenching iced tea for warmer weather.
I am still new to Chinese teas, but I was really impressed by the flavor in this one. The vegetal flavor is strong but sweet. It has faint almost fruity notes that remind me of peaches. The aroma is wonderful- very light and again, sweet.
I am a big fan of this tea now, and it would be a top choice of mine when looking for something delicate. A cup of this is perfect when sitting at home alone and enjoying a moment of peace and quiet. The only downside is that I noticed a bit of astringency, although it is certainly not as strong as in many teas out there.
