Green Snow Bud (Lu Xue Ya)

An elegant, tight leaf, high-mountain varietal from Fujian Province. Processed to preserve its natural appearance, this unusual, slender and dark leaf opens to reveal a single bud within the leaf. Picked early in the first flushes of spring, it offers a comparatively strong green tea taste, with hints of astringency and a very pleasing aftertaste. This varietal will yield multiple steeps reflecting the strength of the leaf.
