2017 Aged Fuding White Tea Shoumei Premium 8 Years Aged Tea 100g

What is Shoumei white tea?

White tea is one of the six major tea categories in China. It is a lightly fermented tea. After picking, it does not need to be cut or rolled. It only needs to be dried without processing. It does not need to be rolled after picking. The types of white tea vary depending on the origin, tree species, and fresh leaf picking standards.

Shoumei, Shou means longevity, and Mei means eyebrows. It is named because the leaves resemble the eyebrows of a long-lived man.

Where is this Shoumei from?

Raw materials and craftsmanship determine the essence of white tea and affect the possibility of late transformation. This tea comes from our country's 600-meter-high mountain tea garden, the Fangjiashan Tea Garden in Taimu Mountain.

The tea garden in this place is very famous in the factory, and the ecological environment is very excellent. The tea produced will have a very special "wood fragrance" of the Taimu Mountain field.

Brewing suggestions:
Tea to water ratio 1:30
Water temperature: 100℃212℉)
Recommended utensils: Gaiwan/Purple clay teapot

First to fourth brewing: use 100°C water (212℉), pour water along the wall of the Gaiwan at fixed points, first infusion should be longer over 30s because it’s compressed tea ,which needs more time to let tea leaves stretch in water. The late infusion can be brewed 10-15 seconds.

After the fourth brewing, use 100°C water (212℉), pour water along the wall of the Gaiwan at fixed points, wait more than 15 seconds, and then pour out the tea soup.

After several brewings, you can remove the tea from the teapot and boil it again in a kettle. Please remember to pour hot water, not cold water, into the kettle to boil the used tea. You will see that the tea is fragrant and even sweeter than when brewed in a teapot.
