White Shou Mei Aged 3 Years – Sweet, Mellow Aged Fujian White TeaWhite 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. In Fujian, aged white tea is treasured, and the longer it rests, the more prized it becomes. 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. Tasting Notes

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
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.
