“Spring 2021 Harvest Running with an impulse a few months back, I ordered a bunch of white teas from Yunnan Sourcing. Now my bad decision has come home to roost and I have so much white tea now...” Read full tasting note
These “Snow Buds” are grown in Ning’er county of Simao, and picked in the very early spring. This is picked as a pure bud tea and then carefully processed through frying, rolling and air-drying. This a unique tea bush varietal called 雪芽#100 (Snow Bud #100) and features large size leaf and buds and prominent downy buds.
The taste is fruity and sweet with a touch of grass (umami) to counter it’s easy-going sweetness. Perfect white tea for aging! Will change and develop honey malt sweetness with time. Just keep sealed in an opaque pouch or canister!
Mid-February to early March harvest
