What is Shou Mei White Tea?
Shou Mei is a type of Chinese white tea primarily grown in Fuding, Zhenghe, and Songxi in Fujian Province. Its name, "Longevity Eyebrow," refers to the tea's leaf shape, which resembles the eyebrows of an elderly person. According to the latest national standards, Shou Mei is crafted from young shoots or leaves of tea plants such as Da Bai, Shui Xian, or local varietals through withering, drying, and sorting processes. While often considered less delicate than other white teas, its robust and complex flavor makes it a great choice for tea beginners.

Brewing and Enjoyment Tips for Shou Mei White Tea:
Shou Mei is not typically consumed fresh; it is better appreciated after aging for at least three years. With time, the tea develops deeper, more layered flavors. After 10 years, aged Shou Mei offers a smoother, sweeter taste, a richer, darker tea liquor, and distinctive "aged" and "herbal" aromas. These qualities make aged Shou Mei highly valued among white tea enthusiasts. It’s best enjoyed when simmered or steeped for extended periods.

Storage Guidelines for Shou Mei White Tea:
To preserve its quality, store the tea in a dry environment with moisture content below 8.5%, temperature around 25°C (77°F), and humidity under 45%. Keep it away from light, odors, and air exposure by sealing it tightly. After three years of proper storage, the tea can be classified as “aged white tea.”
