Shou Mei White Tea

Shou Mei is harvested later in the season than other White teas and tends to contain comparatively darker, more mature leaves. Also known as longevity eyebrow, this tea is thought to resemble an eyebrow and it’s flavour is reminiscent of lighter oolong teas and has a darker liquor.

Loose leaf Shou Mei delivers a richer, bolder flavour than is usual for a white tea and the more mature leaves tend to have been naturally oxidised more than early Spring leaves.

This is definitely a white tea which is on the stronger side and it's sweet vanilla flavour has a nutty undertone. Although the tea has a strong flavour it is still gentle enough to be perfect for when you want a lighter tea!

it's so interesting to try shou mei! i've never thought that a tea could taste nutty and vanilla like this but not too sweet as the same time. my personal favourite for sure!

Complex & rich flavour

One of my favourite teas! Although it's a white tea, the flavour is much more intense than any other white teas out there. It's naturally sweet and floral with a hint of stone fruit. Truly a very special tea!
