Shou Mei means "Longevity Eyebrow," getting its name from the fact that its leaves resemble the wizened eyebrows of an elder. Hand harvested Da Hao varietal leaves from the mild climes of Fuding, Fujian Province, China. Produced in the spring of 2018, hand rolled into single-serving 5g dragon balls & individually wrapped to preserve freshness. Artfully aged over the years to ensure we get to enjoy the growing richness & depth that this tea takes on with each passing season.
