Snow Bud is a green tea produced from buds and apical leaves harvested and processed in China’s Yunnan region. The selection focuses on the youngest parts of the plant, characterized by tender leaves and numerous shoots covered with the typical pale down. Although it belongs to the green tea category, Snow Bud can sometimes resemble a white tea. Alongside the vegetal notes typical of its processing, fresh floral nuances and a distinctive sweetness reminiscent of nectarine and honey emerge. The result is a delicate and refined tea, particularly interesting for those who appreciate green teas with fresh, sweet and floral profiles. Tasting - Appearance and aroma: Snow Bud green tea leaves are whole, medium-sized, rolled and slightly curled. Their colors range from forest green to silvery gray, with numerous creamy-white buds covered by a thick, soft layer of bai hao. On the nose, the wet leaves release sweet aromas of toasted corn, baby carrots and fresh peas, along with floral hints (yellow flowers and hops) and a note of honey. The liquor in the cup is pale yellow, clear and bright. Tasting notes - GONG FU CHA: the first infusion of Snow Bud green tea reveals a very sweet and toasted character reminiscent of caramelized almonds. Vegetal notes of buttered carrots and sweet potatoes then emerge, followed by a consistently rather sweet hay aftertaste. The second infusion has more intense vegetal notes of broad beans and peas, along with an underlying sweetness reminiscent of acacia honey and a wildflower finish. With the third infusion, a more pronounced umami appears, with notes of steamed zucchini, while the finish again reveals a hint of hay and a note of dried flowers. WESTERN STYLE: the first notes of Snow Bud green tea are sweet and starchy, like corn. Toasted notes of dried fruit can also be perceived, together with a sugary sensation at the back of the throat and along the sides of the tongue. Notes of roasted carrots and pumpkin then emerge, along with fresh hints of peas and asparagus tips. The finish is marked by an elegant wildflower note that lingers together with the sugary aromas. This tea has a light, silky body; its flavor shows no trace of astringency or bitterness. Place of origin: Yunnan, China. Production: Snow Bud green tea follows a very classic processing method. After an initial outdoor withering, the leaves are cooked in large woks heated to around 180 °C to halt enzymatic activity and prevent oxidation. After these stages, the leaves are processed to give them their rolled shape and finally dried, removing a little more of their residual moisture and fixing the aromas developed during the various processing steps. Preparation: we strongly recommend infusing this tea using the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha), with a gaiwan holding approximately 150 ml. With this preparation, 5 grams of leaves can be used for multiple infusions that allow all the tea’s nuances of flavor to be appreciated. Heat the water to 80 °C and proceed with a first infusion of 30 seconds. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can continue using the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 10 seconds each time (30 - 40 - 45…). This tea lasts for approximately 6 infusions. For a more classic Western-style preparation, we recommend 3 grams of leaves in a 200 ml cup with water at 80 °C for an infusion time of 3 minutes. For the best tasting experience, we suggest filtering the tea as soon as the infusion time has elapsed. The infusion times we suggest may be slightly adjusted according to personal taste to obtain a more or less intense flavor. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
