Meng Ding Snow Bud (Xue Ya) from Life In Teacup

LiberTEAS drank Meng Ding Snow Bud (Xue Ya) by Life In Teacup

LOVE!

This yellow tea is quite unlike other yellow teas that I’ve tried. While most of the yellow teas that I’ve had in the past have been on the delicate side, this one is not what I’d call delicate. It has a more assertive flavor to it, but, it still has a very yellow tea kind of flavor to it.

sigh how I love yellow tea.

Me too! The London Tea Room has a great Yellow tea but you have to call them as it is not on their menu – oh I hope they do still have some in stock I wanted to get more on payday.

Sorry for the probably silly question, but what exactly IS yellow tea?

I may have to try some! So is it sorta between a green and white tea?

Most of the time, I actually find it to be more similar to Oolong than to green, but this yellow is probably like a green, white and Oolong.

I saw some yellow tea at Tin Roof Teas and it looked almost exactly like my Shou Mei white tea, which tastes like an oolong. Shou Mei is supposed to be the fourth picking from the tea bushes. I love it. I wonder how close it is to yellow tea? I have never had yellow. Maybe that should be my next purchase from Tin Roof Tea!

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
