White Tea Shou Mei (Longevity Eyebrows)

Shou Mei (寿眉), or Longevity Eyebrows, is a traditional white tea from Fujian Province, made from large, mature leaves and buds. Its aroma and flavor embody the energy of nature: a warm, honeyed, fruity profile with light notes of wood and meadow herbs.

Thanks to its natural fermentation, Shou Mei has a richer, rounder flavor than young white teas. It is great for both daily tea drinking and aging - the drink becomes even sweeter and smoother over time.
