Description
White Shou Mei Aged 3 Years – Three-Year Aged Northern Fujian White TeaWhite Shou Mei Aged 3 Years is a fine example of the most popular aged white tea. It is grown at approximately 800 meters above sea level in northern Fujian Province, China, where mature leaves are harvested, dried and then aged for three years to build their distinctive character. A traditional Fujian saying describes white tea as “a tea after one year, a medicine after three years and a treasure after seven years.” Aging transforms Shou Mei, deepening its sweetness and softening its character. Once steeped, it releases a lovely lotus flower fragrance and a bright golden liquor. The flavor is fresh, mellow and sweet, and the finish smooth and gently lingering. Aged Shou Mei offers a remarkably sweet taste and a smooth, mellow body that fresh white teas cannot match. In Chinese tradition, aged white tea has long been treasured for its wellness qualities, which supports its position as a comforting everyday cup. Aged white teas are known for yielding many flavorful steeps, so it is well suited to gaiwan or teapot service with multiple infusions. It is pleasant after meals and pairs with dried fruit and nuts. With proper storage the tea will continue to age gracefully, adding long-term value for retailers and collectors alike. Product Profile
