Compressed fine white tea from Fujian Province, China

White tea pressed into little, square, single-serving cakes, packed individually.
We offer three kinds of pressed tea:
> Shou Mei and Shou Mei blended with dried Tangerine peels or with Rose petals.

Tangerine Shou Mei
This white tea blended with tangerine peels has a pleasantly mellow, but still complex taste. The sweet, honied and fresh, grassy notes are forward, but mild, spiced up with the pungent aroma of tangerine, which is increasingly intense with every steep. The tea is luscious and gently floral, the nectary sweetness of acacia and elderflower present in both the fragrance and flavor. The tea soup is pale amber, slightly oily, leaving a sweet, satisfying mouthfeel. The tea is very permissive, even if you steep it for too long, it stays mellow and pleasant.

Rose Shou Mei
White tea blended with rose petals. Unlike many rose teas, the floral accent is not over-dominating in this one. In the first couple of flushes the rose is an equal, velvety companion of the Shou Mei's sweet, honey-apple notes. The rosy aroma is distinctively there, but it's mellow and gentle, and gradually fades to the background in the later infusions, letting the white tea's classic, pleasant, grassy and nectar sweet features come forward.

Shou Mei
A pleasantly full-bodied, floral, slightly sweet, refreshing tea with a sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate. There is no astringency and it is light and refreshing.

How to prepare

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Brew. Put the pressed tea into your gaiwan or teapot. Pour hot, but not boiling water on the tea leaves and brew for 2 minutes.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.

❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about the same time as the first infusion. Once the cake falls apart, you can make shorter, 1 minute infusions.
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

An excellent white tea cake that gave 7 good infusions. No bitterness even when I forgot about it and accidently brewed it for about 10 minutes. Very smooth taste perfectly matched the product description.
