Snow Bud is a green tea produced with buds and apical leaves harvested and processed in China’s Yunnan region. The selection focuses on the youngest parts of the plant, characterised by tender leaves and numerous shoots covered with the typical light down. Although it belongs to the green tea category, Snow Bud’s profile can sometimes recall that of a white tea. Alongside the vegetal notes typical of its processing, fresh floral nuances and a particular sweetness reminiscent of nectarine and honey emerge. The result is a delicate, refined tea, especially 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 and rolled into a slightly curled shape. Colours range from forest green to silver-grey, with numerous cream-white buds covered by a generous, soft layer of bai hao. On the nose, wet leaves release sweet aromas of toasted corn, carrots and fresh peas, along with floral notes (yellow flowers, hops) and a hint of honey. The liquor in the cup is pale yellow, clear and luminous. Tasting Notes GONG FU CHA The first infusion of Snow Bud green tea reveals a very sweet, toasted character reminiscent of caramelised almonds. Vegetal notes of buttered carrots and sweet potatoes then appear, together with a 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 courgettes, while the finish again reveals hay and dried flowers. WESTERN STYLE The first notes of Snow Bud green tea are sweet and starchy, like corn. Toasted notes of nuts can also be perceived, together with a sugary sensation at the back of the throat and along the sides of the tongue. Notes of baked carrots and pumpkin then emerge, along with fresh hints of peas and asparagus tips. The finish is characterised by an elegant wildflower note that persists together with the sugary aromas. This tea has a light, silky body; there is no trace of astringency or bitterness in the taste Place of origin Yunnan, China Production Snow Bud green tea follows a very classic processing method which, after an initial outdoor withering, involves cooking the leaves in large woks heated to temperatures of around 180°C to halt enzymatic activity and prevent oxidation. After these stages, the leaves are processed into their rolled shape and finally dried, losing a little more of their residual internal moisture and fixing the aromas developed during the various processing stages. 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, allowing all the tea’s flavour nuances 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, 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 3 minutes. For a better tasting experience, we suggest filtering the tea as soon as the infusion time has elapsed. The infusion times we suggest may be slightly adjusted to personal taste to obtain a more or less intense flavour. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
