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.
