White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

ORIGIN
This tea comes from Fuding, one of the most historically significant regions for white tea production in China. Shou Mei is typically made from later seasonal pickings, using a combination of leaves and some stems, which contribute to its body and aging potential. The processing follows the classic white tea method of withering and sun-drying, preserving the integrity of the leaf while allowing slow, natural oxidation. Proper storage over the years has enabled gradual biochemical changes, resulting in increased sweetness, reduced astringency, and a more harmonized profile.
ABOUT
Fuding Shou Mei 2015 is a traditionally produced white tea made from mature leaves and later harvest material, offering a deeper and more structured expression compared to early spring white teas. Over time, natural aging has transformed its character, developing complexity, warmth, and a stable, rounded profile that reflects both the raw material and careful storage.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Large, loose leaves in shades of brown, olive, and faded silver, with visible stems. The aroma is soft and mature, showing notes of dry hay, aged wood, and light dried fruit. When placed in a preheated teapot, the leaves release a deeper, comforting aroma with hints of honey, dried dates, and a gentle woody sweetness.
The liquor presents a clear amber tone with a warm, slightly reddish hue. The aroma is smooth and rounded, combining notes of dried fruits, light herbal sweetness, and aged wood. Soft and full-bodied, with a smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Notes of dried apricot, honey, and warm древесные оттенки integrate with a mild herbal undertone, creating a stable and calming profile. The finish is clean and lingering, with a gentle returning sweetness and a warm, soothing sensation in the throat. The overall impression is mature, grounded, and quietly complex, reflecting the nature of aged white tea.
