Snow Buds (Xue Ya)
Organic White Tea
Organic Snow Buds (Xue Ya) is a rare white tea that is hand harvested in very limited quantities for Rishi on the high mountain peaks of northern Fujian, China. Its clear infusion offers a fresh green note with a complex savory flavor and aroma that can be likened to toasted grains and baked sweet potato. The hand harvested one leaf and a bud is covered with a silvery white down that is indicative of reserve quality white tea.
