Our Shou Mei is a summer harvest white from Fuding County. Due to its mellow, familiar profile, this variety has become the most popular everyday white tea in south east China.

Shou Mei brews a light white infusion, with a smooth light body and mellow notes of nut, earth, and wood.

These brewing recommendations are a great starting point for many tea styles, since 180F water is warm enough to extract satisfying flavor, while still being cool enough to limit bitterness or astringency. To change the strength of your brew, try adjusting the amount of tea leaves you use instead of changing the water temperature.
