Description
xThis Shoumei (Sow Mei) white tea is presented in loose leaf form. It originates from Fuding City, Fujian Province, a renowned area for white tea production in southeastern China. It is carefully crafted from selected Fuding Dabai and Fuding Dahao tea tree varieties, known for their premium quality and unique characteristics.
Shoumei stands out from other types of tea due to its distinct processing method, leaf size, flavor profile, and collectible value. Unlike other teas, it is neither pan-fired nor rolled, allowing it to retain its natural form and characteristics. Made from mature tea leaves, Shoumei offers a mild flavor with a delightful sweetness and floral notes. It is fresher than green tea yet richer and more complex than black tea, making it a versatile choice for tea lovers.
Its gentle nature also provides anti-inflammatory benefits for oral health. Over time, both the flavor and medicinal value of Shoumei improve, earning it the reputation of 'one year tea, three years medicine, seven years treasure.' This makes it a rare gem among white teas, cherished for its aging potential and health benefits.
Our 2014 Fuding 'Shoumei' Aged White Tea has been aged for 11 years!
Through meticulous storage, the tea has remained free from odors and moisture contamination, preserving its pristine quality. The dry leaves are plump and tender, with buds and leaves seamlessly connected, shimmering with silvery hairs. When brewed, the infusion is golden and bright, delivering a rich, sweet flavor with lingering floral notes and a lasting aftertaste. The years of aging have enhanced its complexity, showcasing the unique charm that comes with age.
