Shou Mei Tea

Shou Mei Tea is a type of white tea that originates from Fujian Province in China. It is characterized by a more robust flavor profile compared to other white teas, such as Silver Needle or White Peony, due to its inclusion of leaves as well as tips. The tea is known for its longevity and can be steeped multiple times, with each steeping revealing different nuances of flavor. Shou Mei Tea is often harvested later in the season, which contributes to its fuller body and slightly darker color. This tea presents a unique combination of flavors and aromas, making it a favorite among tea enthusiasts seeking depth and complexity in their brew.

The caffeine content in Shou Mei Tea is typically around 100mg per serving. This can vary based on the preparation method, including whether or not the tea was decaffinated.
