Shou Mei - Longevity Eyebrow White Tea

Shou Mei (寿眉 - Longevity Eyebrow) is a traditional grade of white tea made from more mature leaves (typically one bud with three or four leaves). The name refers to the tea's appearance - the curved leaves resemble the long eyebrows of elderly sages, symbolizing longevity and wisdom. Shou Mei is particularly valued for its sweet, mellow character and excellent aging potential.

2025 Fresh Spring Harvest

This tea represents the 2025 fresh spring harvest, capturing the gentle sweetness and vitality of newly processed white tea. Fresh Shou Mei offers clean, sweet character with herbaceous freshness.

Mature Leaves - Sweet & Mellow Character

Shou Mei is crafted from more mature tea leaves, which create a naturally sweeter, more mellow character compared to bud-only white teas. The mature leaves also make Shou Mei more affordable while maintaining excellent quality and health benefits.

Minimal Processing - Natural Purity

Like all white tea, Shou Mei undergoes minimal processing - the leaves are simply withered and dried naturally, with no rolling, oxidation, or firing. This gentle approach preserves the tea's natural sweetness, delicate character, and high concentration of antioxidants.

Distinctive Flavor Profile - Spring Meadow

The aroma features a refreshing bouquet of wildflowers, fresh hay, and a hint of honeyed sweetness - like walking through a sun-drenched spring meadow. The flavor begins with a remarkably clean and sweet initial sip, reminiscent of natural spring water. This is followed by soft, herbaceous freshness that evokes the essence of a sun-drenched meadow. The mouthfeel is incredibly smooth, round, and soothing from the first sip to the long-lasting sweet aftertaste.

Excellent Aging Potential

While delicious fresh, Shou Mei is also excellent for aging. The mature leaves develop exceptional complexity, sweetness, and medicinal properties over time, making it a favorite among white tea collectors.

Health Benefits

Shou Mei white tea offers exceptional wellness support. The tea is extremely high in antioxidants, supports skin health and anti-aging, provides gentle natural energy, promotes relaxation and mental clarity, aids in detoxification, and contains minimal caffeine. White tea is particularly valued for its beauty and longevity benefits.
