"Fortune" 2021 Sun-Dried Shou Mei — Fuding Guanyang · 50g Mini Cake
Fortune is the English translation of 福 — the Chinese character on the wrapper. A simple name for a straightforward tea.
This is a 2021 spring Shou Mei from Guanyang Town, one of the higher-elevation growing areas in Fuding. The material is Fuding Dahao cultivar, withered outdoors under direct sun in the traditional manner. It comes from Liufeng Tea, produced at the Yunwu Tea Factory.
A note on the grade: Shou Mei is the broader-leaf grade of Fuding white tea, harvested later in the spring than White Peony. For an aged cake, that fuller leaf character is an advantage: there is more material to work with, and the flavor profile tends toward richness rather than delicacy.
Sun-withering matters here for the same reasons it does in any aged white tea. The direct heat during processing encourages a deeper level of initial oxidation, which steers the tea toward a thicker, darker, and sweeter character as it ages. After several years of loose-leaf storage, the material was pressed into this loosely bound cake. By now the transformation is clearly underway: the liquor pours a deep reddish amber, the dominant note is a warm dried-date sweetness, and the body is full and mellow.
The loose pressing is intentional and worth noting. You can break off what you need by hand — no tea pick, no tools required. The leaf structure stays relatively intact, which also means the cake can continue to age naturally if you are not in a hurry to finish it.
The tea meets Chinese national food safety standards (GB). There is no organic certification.
