Aged Elegance from Fuding's Time-Honored Tea Gardens
Experience the rustic charm of Shou Mei ("Longevity Eyebrow", 寿眉), a prized white tea variety cultivated in Fuding, Fujian - China's protected white tea heartland. Handpicked from mature tea leaves and sun-dried using Ming Dynasty-era techniques, our collection brings you the same authentic leaves served in our physical tea house, trusted by 1,000+ tea enthusiasts worldwide.
Key Distinctions
• Leaf Character: Made from robust, fully-opened leaves with distinct silvery-tipped "eyebrow" shape
• Aging Potential: Develops earthy honey notes over time - choose fresh 2024 batches or rare 5-year aged cakes
• Versatile Formats: Traditional 357g cakes, 25g travel-friendly discs, loose-leaf pouches
• Seasonal Nuances: Spring (orchid aroma), Summer (peach undertones), Autumn (woodsy finish)
Unlike delicate Bai Mu Dan, Shou Mei's bolder leaves yield a golden liquor with layered flavors of dried jujube and cedar. Each batch undergoes natural oxidation, preserving 73% more polyphenols than steam-processed alternatives. Ideal for both daily drinking and long-term cellaring.
