  • Flavor: This tea delivers a full-bodied experience with floral and sweet notes. The finish is refreshing, with a hint of astringency that balances the sweetness. The tea brews into a light golden liquor, releasing aromas of flowers and honey.

  • Quality: Made from premium-quality leaves, our Shou Mei ages gracefully, developing a richer flavor over time. With its low caffeine content, it's suitable for any time of day, offering a calm yet flavorful experience.

  • Convenience: Each 5g mini cake is individually wrapped, ensuring freshness and portability. Whether you want to brew at home or on the go, these pre-portioned cakes make brewing simple and hassle-free.

Brewing Instructions

To brew Shou Mei, follow these steps:

  1. Warm Your Teapot: Pour boiling water into your teapot and let it sit briefly, then discard the water.

  2. Rinse the Leaves: Take one 5g individually packaged mini cake, unwrap it, and place it in your teapot. Pour boiling water over the cake and immediately discard the water to rinse the leaves.

  3. Brew: Pour boiling water over the leaves again and let them steep for about 30 seconds.

  4. Serve: Pour the tea into a pitcher, then into cups.

  5. Re-steep: You can steep the leaves multiple times. For the second infusion, steep for half the time of the first infusion, gradually increasing the steeping time for later brews.
