2016 Shou Mei Aged White

2016 Shou Mei Aged White – Wholesale Aged Fujian White Tea Balls

2016 Shou Mei Aged White is a white tea grown in Fujian from old tea trees said to be around 1, 200 years old. It is crafted from naturally withered upper leaves and tips, then hand-rolled into reddened and browned tea "balls" that slowly open as they steep. For tea shops, tea bars and gift retailers, it offers an aged white tea with visual theater and a smooth, sweet cup.

Years of aging have given this Shou Mei a smooth, sweet character and a fruity, enticing aroma. As it infuses, the hand-rolled balls unfurl in a slow, meditative way and release an amber liquor with the sweet scent of Chinese dried dates. The first sip recalls a lighter oolong, with notes of amber honey and Chinese dates, and the overall impression is a bold, smooth, comforting sweetness. Each ball supports multiple steeps, making it efficient for service, and it displays especially well in a glass teapot or gaiwan. It pairs with dried fruit, nuts and light desserts, and when stored properly it will continue to age gracefully, adding long-term value to inventory.
