Snow Sprout

Snow Sprout

As the most gentle among white tea, Snow Sprout delivers tender young buds that give a light infusion of serene clarity. Delicate herbal notes are followed by a lingering sweetness.
Ingredients: First Flush Bai Hao Yinzhen Tea Buds    •    Where it's Grown: Fujian, China

Why it’s Special:


  • This tea has a delicate flavor of warmed white bread with a finish of glazed sugar

  • Widely considered the best White Tea in the world

  • The tea leaves consist solely of one inch buds, hand plucked in early spring

  • Has small, tiny white “fuzz” on each bud, adding to its complex, subtle flavor

  • Wonderful aroma of honeysuckle


What to be Careful of:


  • The flavor is extremely subtle and light 

  • Not for those who like to add milk and sugar to their teas

  • Due to the large buds, it takes up much more storage space

  • Less vegetal than Green Tea, tasting a bit sweeter

  • Low in caffeine, not the best for an early morning “pick me up”


Who it’s for:

Those who appreciate delicate flavors
People who like a natural sweetness in their tea with a light body
The Caffeine Sensitive
Snow Sprout is also known as “Silver Needle Tea.” It is classified as a yellow tea, whose leaves are allowed to sit damp in the initial phase of drying. The leaves are yellower and smell different than other teas, which seem to have suited Chairman Mao just fine - it was his favorite tea.
