White Shou Mei Aged 3 Years

White Shou Mei Aged 3 Years – Sweet, Mellow Aged Fujian White Tea

White Shou Mei is the most popular aged white tea. It's grown at an altitude of approximately 800 meters above sea level in China's beautiful northern Fujian Province. After the mature leaves are harvested and dried, the tea is aged for three years to develop its unique character.

There's a traditional proverb in Fujian that says white tea is "a tea after one year, a medicine after three years and a treasure after seven years." Aging transforms Shou Mei, deepening its sweetness and mellowing its character. Once steeped, this fine aged white tea releases a lovely fragrance of lotus flowers and a bright golden liquor.
