Product Description
Shou Mei Tea is a white tea that is produced from naturally withered upper tea leaves and tips. It has a strong flavour reminiscent of lighter Oolong teas. It is mostly grown in the provinces of Fujian and Guangxi in China. Because the Shou Mei tea leaves are plucked later than those of the Bai Mudan variety, the tea may be darker in colour, but it should still have a healthy proportion of green colour.
The flavor of fresh crop Shou Mei is pleasant and mild. Moreover, it has a taste that is more mellow and deeper than Silver Needle and White Peony.
The aroma reflects an interesting turning point in the tea: right around three years of ageing, the fresh green taste and fragrance of white tea transforms into a more complex, heavy and floral fragrance. These transformations of aged white tea are summed up in a popular Chinese saying: “一年茶，三年药，七年宝” means “One-year Tea, Three-year Medicine, Seven-year Treasure”. The medicinal value and tea content of the tea leaves will gradually increase with a longer storage time. In China, many elderly people will brew White tea for consumption when they are not feeling well or when they catch a cold.
Shou Mei is affordable and is well-suited for drinking at home, in the office or while traveling.
