Fulong Shou Mei, Ding Yong Hao Factory, AA, 2021

Aged white tea from the Ding Yong Hao factory in Fujian Province.

Leaves and a small amount of buds and stems from the 2021 spring harvest are pressed into a neat 350g cake. The tea was then stored in a dry warehouse, where it transformed over time and acquired a soft, juicy berry-dried fruit aroma with spicy notes.

The infusion is clear, clean, and golden-amber in color. The aroma is light and fresh, with hints of spice. The taste is juicy, light, and slightly sweet, with berry, spicy, honeyed, and slightly dusty notes, along with hints of medicinal herbs, dried wildflowers, spices, and dried fruit. The finish is long, warm, and soft.

This tea is ideal for steeping, simmering, or steeping in a thermos. It warms, refreshes, improves mood, and harmonizes mind and body.
