Premium White Tea Shou Mei – Rich & Full-Bodied

Discover the bold and warming character of Shou Mei (Longevity Eyebrow) 白茶寿眉, a unique and flavorful white tea grown in the renowned Fujian province of China, particularly in the Fuding and Zhenghe regions. Cultivated in the mist-covered Taimu Mountains, this tea benefits from an ideal terroir, where the combination of mineral-rich soil, high altitude, and soft mountain mists creates a tea with depth, body, and an exquisite aged complexity.

Shou Mei is known for its larger, more mature leaves and fewer buds, making it the most full-bodied and robust white tea. It offers a rich infusion with notes of dried fruits, honey, and subtle woodsy undertones, developing a deeper, slightly malty profile as it ages. This tea is often aged for several years, enhancing its complexity and bringing out layers of sweetness and depth similar to aged pu-erh teas.
