Description
Snow buds, or xue ya in Chinese, is a relatively new type of tea, sharing characteristics of both white tea and green tea, and alternatively classified in both categories because it is made of Da Bai Hao, the white tea cultivar, in green tea production way.
Like a silver needle, snow buds consist mostly of buds, which have a downy appearance. The tea does contain some larger leaf though, which has a bolder green color. Compared to the silver needles, the leaf tends to be more curled and wiry. The harvest window is only a few days in early Spring in order to maintain the correct coloration and size of the leaves.
Pyramid-shape whole leaf tea bag packed into special food grade aroma safe foil pouch to preserve freshness and quality of the tea leaf.
