Following the ancient method of sun-withering and slow low-temperature drying — with no frying and no rolling — it preserves the maximum amount of the leaf's inner substances and restores the true flavor of white tea. After 5 years of professional warehouse storage and natural aging, the green astringency of new tea has faded. Through oxidation and transformation, the tea polyphenols and amino acids have evolved, resulting in a substantial upgrade in color, aroma, and taste. The dry leaf is brown, glossy, and even. After brewing, the liquor is bright and translucent orange, with a mellow and smooth texture, clear sweetness, and a rich floral-fruity aroma that gradually reveals a soft jujube (date) fragrance and a long-lasting finish. It is highly resilient to multiple infusions (15+ steeps). Suitable for both brewing and boiling, it is perfect for all seasons\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNet \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeight: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e357g\/cake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e19 × 19 × 21 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTaimu Mountain, Fuding, Ningde, Fujian\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Shou Mei White Tea\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage: \u003c\/strong\u003e2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlucking standard: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1 bud with 3 to 4 leaves\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ta8CdLD0oo0rBBxp9docWJ0dn5b\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-page-id=\"BOdzd2rtrogGkuxTC5zckTqqnIb\" data-lark-html-role=\"root\" data-docx-has-block-data=\"false\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eDry tea: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBrown, glossy, and even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiquor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright orange-yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma: \u003c\/strong\u003eRich floral-fruity fragrance, evolving into a soft jujube (date) aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eTaste:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Mellow and smooth with a clear sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfused Leaf:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft and elastic.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage: \u003c\/strong\u003eStore at room temperature in a cool, dry, odor-free place away from light.
