Also Called 'Gong Mei' (Tribute Eyebrow), the leaves for Shou Mei are plucked during April, May and June in the Fujian Province of China. Shou Mei is duced using leaves from the Xiao Bai tea tree and is cessed more than the Silver Needle and White Peony teas and is therefore considered a lower grade tea, but despite this it has the perties attributed to white teas. The lack of cessing and hand selection is evident in the leaf appearance of this tea. "Eyebrow" teas are named for the long, thin, crescent-shaped leaves used in duction. The leaves are not steamed or pan-fired (the cess used in green teas) or fermented and fired (the cess used in black tea). Instead, the leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun.

It brews up an orange colored infusion with a bright and fruit-like character that leaves no heaviness on your pallet.
