Shou Mei White Tea

Our Shou Mei is plucked with 1 bud with 2-3 leaves, most of the leaves retained its green color and whole leaves. This white tea is the strongest in terms of taste and steeps a slightly darker colour as well due the later harvest period than Silver Needle and White Peony where the tea leaves has been able to mature.
