Description

Unique to the tea gardens of Fujian Province, white tea has distinctive downy white hairs on the leaves. This tea is minimally processed: leaves are allowed to wither naturally in cool conditions to remove moisture. The leaves are steamed briefly but are neither rolled (as for green teas) nor allowed to oxidize (as for black teas). FOOJOY SHOUMEI makes a light reddish brew that is clean tasting, with a hint of sweetness and a slightly toasty fragrance. SHOUMEI WHITE TEA is believed to reduce heat and dampness in the body and to help restore the respiratory system.
