Spring Shou Mei – Full-Flavored Fuding White TeaSourced from the renowned tea gardens of Fuding City in Fujian Province, our Spring Shou Mei white tea captures the essence of southern China's refined tea-making tradition. Crafted from mature spring leaves and delicate silver buds, it brews a vibrant orange liquor with a bright, fruity aroma and a satisfying depth reminiscent of light black tea. Unlike typical Shou Mei, which is often dark and broken from over-drying, this premium grade retains its light green, whole leaves and silvery tips — a mark of exceptional craftsmanship. The result is a white tea that balances the fresh, floral fragrance of young leaves with the full-bodied flavor of a richer tea. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItAffordable yet impressively complex, Spring Shou Mei offers everyday luxury in a cup — pure, natural and unmistakably Fuding. It's a wonderful introduction to white tea for black tea lovers and a satisfying daily cup for white tea fans.
How to EnjoyRefreshing and smooth, Spring Shou Mei is the perfect choice to cleanse the palate after a hearty meal, or to cool off on a warm day. Enjoy it hot through several infusions, or brew it strong and serve it over ice. Bright, fruity and satisfying, Spring Shou Mei proves that everyday tea can be extraordinary. |

A little steeping tipFresh spring Shou Mei, sweet and mellow. Re-steep 3–4 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
