Broad Leaves for the Everyday Tea Table

Fuding · Shou Mei · Naturally Rested · Loose Leaf

250 g / 8.8 oz · Approx. 50–62 Tea Sessions · Multiple Infusions

Discover Fuding Shou Mei / 福鼎寿眉, a loose-leaf Chinese white tea expressing the broader, more mature-leaf side of the white-tea family.

Unlike the slender buds of Silver Needle or the buds-and-younger-leaves structure of White Peony, Shou Mei is recognized for naturally varied broad leaves, visible stems and a fuller leaf-forward character.

The packaging also highlights:

自然陈放 · Naturally Rested

The generous 250 g loose-leaf format is made for customers who already enjoy Shou Mei and want straightforward everyday brewing without breaking apart a compressed tea cake.

What Makes This Shou Mei Different?

Fuding · Broad Leaves · Loose-Leaf Ease

Three things define this version.

Fuding / 福鼎

The packaging explicitly identifies:

福鼎白茶 / Fuding White Tea

together with:

寿眉 / Shou Mei

so Fuding is part of this SKU's confirmed product identity.

Broad Mature Leaves

Expect a naturally varied mixture of:

Broad Leaves · Folded Leaves · Stems · Different Leaf Sizes

with tones including:

Olive · Brown · Tan · Deep Green

Loose Leaf

No cake to loosen.

No mini cake to weigh and wait for.

Simply:

Measure · Brew · Pour · Return

This makes the 250 g version especially practical for frequent drinking.

---

What Does Naturally Rested Mean?

The packaging uses:

自然陈放

For this listing, it is presented conservatively as:

Naturally Rested

This indicates that the tea is presented as having been naturally rested or stored.

However, no exact:

Production Year

Harvest Year

Aging Period

Vintage

is established.

Therefore:

Naturally Rested ≠ Confirmed Aged White Tea

and:

Naturally Rested ≠ Confirmed Lao Bai Cha

This wording should remain exactly within that boundary. fileciteturn92file0L177-L201

What Does It Taste Like?

Smooth · Rounded · Lingering · Fuller

The product presentation highlights:

清润持久 · 滋味醇厚

For the English storefront, this is conservatively expressed as:

Smooth · Rounded · Lingering · Fuller

The liquor develops through:

Pale Gold → Warm Gold → Soft Amber-Gold

with a light-to-medium body.

Compared with Silver Needle, Shou Mei offers a broader and more leaf-forward white-tea experience.

Exact aroma, sweetness, texture and body naturally vary according to batch, water and brewing method.
