Snowbud Review

Image from Adagio.com

This is yet another white tea from the folks at Adagio.com. The user average score for this one is 4.3.

3.5 out of 5

Opinion: It took me a second brew to make me fully appreciate this tea. I first tried this tea out on Saturday after trying out the White Cucumber. It wasn't much of a huge leap from that tea because I didn't like the White Cucumber all that much (As seen in my previous review). However, I tried it again today and I appreciated it more.

Scent: The scent of this tea is very subtle. It's a lot more subtle than the White Peony (Next white tea being reviewed). You really have to have a good sense of smell to pickup this tea quickly. It took me a few tries before I could get something out of it. Although I've never actually smelled a snowbud plant before, I have a good idea of what one smells likes now. It has a gentle scent and there's a hint of sweetness as well.

Appearance: The color is the usual golden yellow color that most white teas have or should have. A different color from the ordinary black and green teas is always nice to have around if you're quite new to drinking white tea.

Flavor: It took me a second brew to really appreciate this tea. Just like the scent, the flavor is very subtle. I'd go as far as to say it's a lot more subtle than the fruit flavor in Divine Delectable by Moujan Z. This would be a great tea to relax with, but I'd probably go with another white tea since I'm not the biggest fan of the snowbud flavor in this tea.

It's like a quiet person. You will get a little bit of information about her or him… notice how I'm saying a only a little bit. Even though you wished you could earn a bit more information, you're appreciative that this person actually talked despite the lack of anything huge or mindblowing coming from him or her. That gentle amount of information is this tea's flavor. I appreciate it, but I wished there was a bit more for me to handle.

Overall: It's a good white tea. The scent and the flavor are very subtle. It's a hit or miss for this one if you're new to white teas or not a big fan of gentle white teas.
