In China, people say that white tea gets better with age. When freshly made, white tea smells fresh and has a delicate flavor. As it ages, the tea leaves develop a more decadent aroma and a fuller, mellower flavor because the levels of certain substances in the leaves change over time. 

Shou Mei is a type of white tea from Fujian Province, China. It is made from tender leaves that undergo slight withering and oxidation and are then carefully air-dried. The result is an exquisite tea with a sweet and floral flavor and a refreshing aftertaste with a slight astringency. High-quality white teas like White Peony and Shou Mei are minimally processed to retain their natural essence to the greatest extent. The dry leaves often have silvery white hairs.

The tea has a light, golden color and a delicate aroma of flowers and honey. The flavor is sweet and floral, with a slight astringency that balances the sweetness.
