Inside the server, members discuss tea, share tasting notes, and help each other learn more about Chinese tea.
Some of our customers have also started a small OrientaLeaf corner there to chat about the teas they’re drinking. If you'd like to meet other tea drinkers and join the conversation, you're warmly welcome to join.

White tea is delicate and revered in China for its light flavor. Many say it improves with age, starting with a clean aroma and gentle taste that deepens over time. As the leaves mature, they become more affluent and fuller.
Shou Mei, or "Longevity Eyebrow," hails from Fujian Province. It is crafted from young tea leaves that undergo light withering and oxidation before drying in the air. The result is a sweet, floral profile with a refreshing aftertaste and a hint of astringency, making it stand out for its body and richness.
The 2017 Fuding Shou Mei White Tea Brick is special, made from high-quality young leaves. It features a light golden hue and a delicate floral aroma reminiscent of honey.
Flavor: The first sip is sweet and refreshing, with a complex character akin to Longevity Eyebrow.
Aging: Years of aging have developed a rich aroma and full flavor, enhancing its sweetness and smoothing the overall taste.
Brewing: Each brick is conveniently packed for easy brewing. Break off a piece and steep it briefly in a clay vessel to reveal different flavors in each cup.
White tea is low in caffeine and rich in antioxidants, making it a health-conscious choice. These antioxidants fight free radicals, promote well-being, and may even slow aging.
Brewing Instructions:
Water Temperature: Heat water to about 70°C to 80°C.
Tea-to-Water Ratio: Use about 2 grams for every 150 ml of water.
Brewing Time: Steep for 1 minute for the first two brews, increasing the time for subsequent brews.
