White Snow Buds White Tea – Loose Leaf, Organic

Discover the delicate beauty of our White Snow Buds White Tea – an elegant loose leaf white tea cultivated in the high mountains of southeast China.

Grown at an altitude of around 1,000 metres and hand-plucked using the traditional “two leaves and a bud” method, this organic white tea is processed with minimal fermentation to preserve its “green soul.”

The result is a shimmering, light green leaf with silvery tips and a subtly spicy, gently fruity cup.

Perfect for moments of quiet reflection or paired with light foods throughout the day.
