Shou Mei is a white tea that consists mostly of leaves and few buds, and is naturally withered, resulting in a brew that is more yellow-orange in color with stronger taste than other white teas.
Shou Mei is a great introduction to white tea. It is very easy to brew, and steeps a nice rich color, with a light greenish fragrance with nutty notes and earth tones. This tea is often served at Dim Sum and typically does not have a lot of caffeine.
