Sichuan Straight-Strip Snow Bud Green Tea – High Mountain Mist, Loose Leaf, 500g

Description

Product Description

This Straight-Strip Snow Bud Green Tea comes from the misty high mountains of Sichuan, harvested in the early spring of 2026. The tea is crafted from tender young buds, carefully picked and processed into straight, slender strips that are both visually striking and rich in flavour.

The name “Snow Bud” reflects the tea’s appearance – the buds are covered in fine, silvery-white down, giving them a snow-dusted look that is both delicate and elegant. Grown at high altitudes where clouds and mist envelop the mountainsides, the tea plants develop slowly, accumulating rich internal substances that contribute to a full, satisfying flavour.

The dry leaves are straight, uniform, and beautifully presented – a sign of careful hand-picking and meticulous processing. When brewed, the tea produces a clear, bright green-yellow liquor with a fresh, elevated aroma. The taste is smooth, mellow, and well-balanced, with a subtle sweetness and a clean, lingering aftertaste.

As a high-quality green tea, it is naturally rich in antioxidants and amino acids, offering a refreshing and healthful daily beverage.

Brewing Recommendation

Steps:

1. Pre-warm the vessel with hot water, then discard.

2. Place the leaves into the warm vessel and appreciate the fresh, clean fragrance.

3. Pour water at the recommended temperature gently along the wall of the vessel.

4. Steep for 1–2 minutes, then pour and enjoy.
